We were just playing house Picking out paint for the living room Someone to come home to living proof That someone could love me Dirty dishes in the sink As if we were meant to be I think we always knew that it was all pretend We were blinded by youth and that damn picket fence And God knows we're not perfect like Barbie and Ken We both know that now We were just playing house ♪ I might've stayed too long I prayed I was wrong that something was missing And I got rid of all the dust on the pictures of us But that didn't fix it Flowers in the window boxes They all died and I couldn't stop it I think we always knew that it was all pretend We were blinded by youth and that damn picket fence And God knows we're not perfect like Barbie and Ken We both know that now We were just playing house I'll be in the garden And you'll mow the lawn on Saturdays We'll wave at the neighbors And that will make everything be okay Be okay
