When I heard her call out your name, my face fell
    Trying to end the one you love is a living [bad word] 
    The starcrossed lovers of these games
    are all we can be
    She thinks I’m pretending, oh why can’t she see

    I would like to fall in love again
    and just start as good friends
    No camera, or lens, lets not play pretend

    Remember the time you held your hand in mine
    It felt like solitude
    When in reality the whole world was listening
    Just pretending and entertaining
    The world at home
    Why’d it happen like this, I guess I’ll never know

    I would like to fall in love again
    and just start as good friends
    No camera, or lens, lets not play pretend

    And in the end
    Our lives will make sense
    We’ll love, we’ll bend, let’s not play pretend

    It won’t be long, before we’re all gone,
    because of our honesty
    Please get it through your head, you know that you love me
