When pretending lends a helping hand We hold it close, so close, and never let it go Then, the pen begins to write the story With an end that bends right out of our control How did we get so jaded? I don't know Was it the white lies feeding our egos? I never valued minutes I burned through Is that just how it goes? Seconds I wasted, I was fixated You're devastated, sorry to say I can't fix it, is this where I give in?

I'll bet your mind has changed How did it get so scary? I don't know Was it the hard life starving our egos? I never valued minutes I burned through Is that just how it goes?
