Emily Nawrocki - Play Pretend Lyrics

New York City looks different in the sunrise
Her tea's cool down, it's a sweet life
Ivy dripping down the window pane
She told herself this time she wouldn't stay
He's sitting there with his belt unbuckled
His button downs off her shoulder she's tenfold
He doesn't even know her f*cking name
How'd she even get here anyway
So don't move baby his lips land on her neck again
The stars aren't aligned but there's no denying
That your hair will be a mess again
It's not news baby he wanted nothing now, he wanted nothing then
She tries to ask why, he puts up a fight so just for tonight
She'll play pretend
One more time won't hurt her mental
That's what she tells herself, he'll be gentle
It's funny he makes her pain go away
When he doesn't even know her f*cking name
So don't move baby his lips land on her neck again
The stars aren't aligned but there's no denying
That your hair will be a mess again
It's not news baby he wanted nothing now, he wanted nothing then
She tries to ask why, he puts up a fight so just for tonight
She'll play pretend
He's broken and bruised
Why did you think he was the one
Sometimes the fire burns twice as brighter
When it's all in your head
So he draws back the curtains knowing
She'll fall for his game again
So don't move baby his lips land on her neck again
The stars aren't aligned but there's no denying
That your hair will be a mess again
It's not news baby he wanted nothing now, he wanted nothing then
She tries to ask why, he puts up a fight so just for tonight
She'll play pretend
