{Intro} Let's play Pretend {Verse 1} Let's play the dress-up We'll be the patient and the doctor You can fix my bleeding heart back again (Can you fix me?) Let's go to class We'll be the teacher and the student You can learn just how to be a real man (Heh, be a real man) {Pre-Chorus} Operator can you hear me? A stranger's in my bed Kiss me boy like you really love me Give me the lie instead {Chorus} Let's play pretend Imagine life is how it's should've been, oh Let's play pretend Gimme those lies Of love that make more sense, oh {Verse 2} Let's close our eyes Imagine you and I set fire and destroyed all of our sweet-flavoured dreams (Why don't you burn it all?) Let's look inside All of the cracks of broken mirror Change the script and play a happier scene (You're such an actor) {Pre-Chorus} Operator can you hear me? A stranger's in my bed Kiss me boy like you really love me Give me the lie instead {Chorus 2} Let's play pretend Imagine life is how it's should've been, oh Let's play pretend Gimme those lies Of love that make more sense, oh {Bridge} Broken, perfect, hold me, hurt me Broken, perfect, hold me, hurt me Broken, perfect, hold me, hurt me Broken, perfect, hold me, hurt me Perfection is so overrated {Chorus} Let's play pretend Imagine life is how it's should've been, oh Let's play pretend Gimme those lies Of love that make more sense, oh {Outro} Let's play pretend Let's play pretend Let's play pretend Let's play pretend Let's play pretend Let's play pretend again Let's play pretend, oh Let's play pretend Let's play pretend again
