Pretend You'Re With Me - Phading Out
I'm lownly and have nobody and nothing
You had me wondering where you've been...singing and crying and yelling and silently dying, wingless and willing to fly away and bring some happiness in this world of woe...I'll just joyously sing and do my thang
You're hot and you're cold
You're shy and I'm bold
Don't try to hide anything,
Because I know you and everything about you...
Don't try to act like something...
Something special and awesome, obviously, you have no clue that you're the total opposite - you're not joining my crazy cool crew
Pre-chorus: Before me, I see blemishes of the blues
Come back, I want to place my feet in your shoes
Scarred for life
Wishing for a better tomorrow
Living with strife
Sipping in childhood sorrow
Chorus: Entertain me, pretend you're with me
I'm over you, pretend you're without me
Brain going insane, bad luck on my tongue
My eyes are enlightened, my door bell rung
Don't be ashamed of being who you are
Everyone will know you as a champion in heart
You're the best thing that has happened to me, my shining star
Allow me to push away the sinister death cart
Verse 5: I refuse to have you in my mind...oh no not right this second
My dreams are coming true with or without you...sorry to say, but it's true
I doubt we'll be together again...it's a permanent broken bond
You made me beam like the sunlight, but the clock ticks on and I'm leaving you
Sit tight and watch the show of my shameless, swag life
I ain't chugging your negative junk that cut me like a jagged knife
Despite all we've done, You still feel something's missing in our relationship
Was I not good enough? Am I not the one?
I'm not your kind and it makes me sick to the stomach, but I'll get a grip
I'll be a man
I think I can
I think I can
I think I can
Phading out and heating up like a pan
Phading out and feeling like I ran...sweating and getting a tan
Turn me up like you're favorite song on the radio
Let me be your moonlit glow and let me go with my own flow
I'm a flower, not a weed...you're my want and need and you planted a seed of serenity in me...in the faith-grown field, I happily feed
So, pick me out and let me embrace the breeze
I'm earnest and rich with keen humility, not glamorized greed
I'm not gullible or naive so don't treat me like a wild child...pretty please
Pre-chorus: Before me, I see blemishes of the blues
Come back, I want to place my feet in your shoes
Scarred for life
Wishing for a better tomorrow
Living with strife
Sipping in childhood sorrow
I haven't done much healing
I'm grieving because of this feeling
I'm dealing with deep inside...
Something in me has slowly died...
And my hopes and fears have dried
Stop prying on me, stop spying on me...
Your pride is not helping me out at all
It's so unnecessary and it's a pity you don't see
Do please cease from being a tease and being another brick in the wall
Chorus: Entertain me, pretend you're with me
I'm over you, pretend you're without me
Brain going insane, bad luck on my tongue
My eyes are enlightened, my door bell rung
Don't be ashamed of being who you are
Everyone will know you as a champion in heart
You're the best thing that has happened to me, my shining star
Allow me to push away the sinister death cart
I'm stronger than I realize,
I'm not alone,
And I'm not a failure
I've grown mature through this hardship
Don't worry about me when I bite my lip...
I'm biting the bullet
I'm shooting down regret
Bridge: Build me up instead of breaking me down
You got me hooked on your liquor of lament, but I won't pay for the shot
You try your hardest to lower my high spirits...so mind-blown!
How could you make me disappointed of your you-got-this mentality...you still hanging at your YOLO spot?
Alone, but not on my own in His eyes
I won't cry over you anymore
Take me all the way to your paradise
You were the one that I adore, but now, you're a bore and an attention whore
Dancing the night away...drinking Champagne of insanity
Driving another lane today...relinquishing release from misery
You ruined my self-esteem
But, we are on each other's team
I'm the iced coffee and you're the cream
All day and night, I hate the way I'm addicted to your love...you make my flavorless frown a bright beam
(Spoken)
Then...you slammed the door in my face
You are now considered a disgrace
I should've known you were double trouble
Now, I am walking on the rubble of your ********...
Drowning in my pain-drenched pool
Forever is a word that enters one ear and out the other, but I won't fret a bit
You're long gone
I was wrong all along
You are the dim sun
I am chained in the longing of belong
