Make believe

I was so focused on trying to find something good within you,

I forgot to see the red flags.

I thought that I always knew what to do,

But I guess I just drove myself apart,


With all of the longing.

With so much of pain,

With no understanding,

We fell away.


But you never cared, did you?

When I was scared, of you?

Whenever you said,

I love you.


Oh I do remember,

The times when you loved me.

Oh I will remember,

Whenever you hurt me.


Cuz whatever you say,

You're gonna stay that way.

And whatever I do for us,

It will never be enough.


"us" had never felt so fake,

It felt like it took years to make,

Make believe, that is.

Make believe, that is.


Make believe... is all it is.
