Skylar Grey - Airplanes lyrics

Airplanes Part I HOOK: [ SKYLAR GREY ] VERSE 01: Yeah ok, let's pretend like it's '04 Like I'm eatin lunch off of Styrofoam trays Tryin to fit in with the popular coming out the Ghetto Hoping for a friend to deal with my pain Now, let's pretend like i'm in a game And when I score everybody goes insane Okay, and everyone knows my name (Breon) And everywhere I go people want me to swing Oh yeah, and I just left my hometown I feel like I'm homesick Heaven in the spring, hell in the fall And then f**ers sayin sh** to top it all off And let's say I was the greatest Making people think I'm one of the latest And everybody loved me and no ever doubted Let's try to use imagination HOOK: [ SKYLAR GREY ] VERSE 02: Okay, let's pretend like it never happened Never had dreams of being the captin Never did practice in all my cla**es Never used to run away from all this blackness Let's pretend like I was all good I never lived starin at where I stood Never did the things that I probably knew I could But I ain't have friends, that's somethin I never understood Yo, now let's pretend like I forgot my name Before I ever stood up from this shame I'm talking back before the good times Before the love and the k**er I restrain Before they ever compared me to that name Before I wasn't the one to blame Before anyone ever cared about my face So let's just pretend, and make these nightmares out of airplanes HOOK: [ SKYLAR GREY ] BRIDGE: [ SKYLAR GREY ] VERSE 03: Let's pretend Breon Prince never listened again Let's pretend I would of been no different Pretend like I didn't care, had no motivation Pretend like he didn't have no inspiration Could of ripped out my heart and threw it away in his creation Makes no sense to play this game, crawl up in a ball with a whole bunch of shame Pretend like I just stayed outside all day and played with his friends Pretend he even had a real friend to say was his friend And he didn't hate school and was happy all the time He wasn't socially awkward and strange as a kid He had his mother and father together And there relationship wasn't f**ed up and sh** f** the game and all it has to give “You won't amount to sh**, keep daydreaming kid You might need your cranium checked You're thinkin like an alien, it just ain't realistic” And pretend like there was no one who could make him angry with this sh** And there was no one he could even aim when he is pissed at And his alarm went off for practice but It didn't wake him Slept through it and it didn't wake him He's gon' have a hard time explainin to his family These excuses and sh** if gives to them Cause I ain't never risked sh**, he hoped and he wished it But this is all some stupid sh** so he even here, he pretends that HOOK: [ SKYLAR GREY ]
