We've become resigned
To a life where everyone is
Forced to be defined
If we are blessed
Then why does no one mention our decline?
Living up to expectation
Stars will always shine
I feel so insignificant to you
Throw me a lifeline
Something to hold
Please don't believe in
The lies you've been told
I need you to believe in this feeling
Before you're caught out in the cold
You'll never have to stand in the shadows
You need to take control
You're feeding
On images you see inside this false reality
Can't you see it's deceiving?
Throw me a lifeline
Something to hold
Please don't believe in
The lies you've been told
I need you to believe in this feeling
Before you're caught out in the cold
You'll never have to stand in the shadows
You need to take control
Why do we pretend, pretend?
That we don't feel alone
Why do we pretend, pretend?
That we don't feel alone
So tell me where we're at
And where we're gonna go from here
One day you'll realize
Its never gonna disappear
Maybe I'm missing out
Maybe I'm losing ground
It's time to tell you that you got the whole idea
If you're persistent now then maybe you can get it right
This isn't living its a fission of a better life
Stop searching for the answers
You're never gonna find
And you should
Throw me a lifeline
Something to hold
Please don't believe in
The lies you've been told
I need you to believe in this feeling
Before you're caught out in the cold
You'll never have to stand in the shadows
You need to take control
Why do we pretend, pretend?
That we don't feel alone
Why do we pretend, pretend?
That we don't feel alone
