​pretend ​nothing, nowhere.

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I can be a burden, baby, I can be a psycho
They called me a mistake and wrote me off like a typo
And life just keeps on hitting me, I swear that I'ma fight though
So hit me with your best shot, staring down the rifle
I been looking back, riding on my motorcycle
I remember nights when I was feeling suicidal
I was falling out, boy, dead on arrival
Couldn't see the signs, I was living in denial, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm on the edge
You're in my head, so

[Chorus]
Tell me you need me
Even when you don't
I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end)
Tell me you'll stay now
Even if you won't
Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend)

[Verse 2]
I guess that what I'm saying is
I'm scared of going back
I remember every struggle, every panic attack
You saw the life inside my eyes fade away over time
I couldn't pick up a guitar
I couldn't think of a rhyme
I needed something to believe in
Somewhere that I could hide
They told me I should stop pretending
Always kept it inside
And I was hoping these emotions were a lack of serotonin
Never thought that my own brain could ever turn to an opponent
