Arcade Riot - Playing Pretend Lyrics

She's shy but she's desperate for attention
She drinks just to show them all she can
Locks eyes with the stranger in the mirror
It's clearer to see she's not who she thinks she wants to be
Is it still fun playing pretend?

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Spending some time
Outside her mind
She needs a break from herself
So sick of it
Takes one last hit
She's got nothing left to lose

Burning in the moonlight
Feels like something's not right
Suddenly she's tongue-tied
Again
Feeling like she's falling
Reality is calling
Better leave a message at the tone

She's shy but she's desperate for attention
She drinks just to show them all she can
Locks eyes with the stranger in the mirror
It's clearer to see she's not who she thinks she wants to be
Is it still fun playing pretend?

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Crashing down tears of neon and mascara hit the floor
Pools up a drink of disappointment, still she's coming back for more
Another drink, another drink barkeep, bring her another round
Keep it coming as her sorrows start to drown (drown drown drown)

Drowning in the spotlight
Nothing's ever felt right
Blacking out by midnight
Again
Confidence is fading
Always masquerading
Lies that keep cascading on themselves

She's shy but she's desperate for attention
She drinks just to show them all she can
Locks eyes with the stranger in the mirror
It's clearer to see she's not who she thinks she wants to be
Is it still fun playing pretend?

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

For-e-ver
For-e-ver more
For-e-ver
Hoping she's not gone forever more
For-e-ver
For-e-ver more
For-e-ver
Hoping she's not gone forever more
Than ever now
She's better off
Without the
Weight of being someone who she's not
Untethered now
She'll never stop
For-e-ver more

She's shy but she's desperate for attention
She drinks just to show them all she can
Locks eyes with the stranger in the mirror
It's clearer to see she's not who she thinks she wants to be
Is it still fun playing pretend?

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
