Pretend

Let's play a game

Let's play pretend

You're the gardener and I'll be your hoe

Take me out and ise me for your work

I'll plant you're seeds of self worth

I'll help you grow and be strong

Now that you're seed has sprouted

and now that you're happy and satisfied

My workfor you here is done

Put me away I have no point now

Use me when necessary, don't worry about it

I'll let you use me, abuse the privelge please

I'm just you're tool, a piece plastic, wood, or metal

Used to keep you satisifies and fulfilled

Whatever it takes, it's all for you

I'm worthless to you, no need for love

When I'm worn out just throw me away

Don't worry about my sorrow and pain

It's nothing compared to your confortable life



I'll be your toy, you be the little boy

I'll amuse you and keep you happy

You'll take me with you wherever you go

You'll take good care of me and sleep with me at night

You'll keep me close, never letting go, hold me tight

But then you'll get bored with me, maybe find another toy

I dont give you that feeling anymore

Even though I still have it for you

I'll keep on my hand stitched smile, so you wont know

But, you need to keep happy, so I'll be replaced

Don't worry about my pain and sorrow

It's nothing compared to your pampered life



You think it's fun to play pretend?

I'm tired of that game

I'm tired of your games

Stop treating me like a game piece

I won't be your worthless instrument

Don't call me you're teddy bear

I can't be used, I won't take this abuse

Treat me the way I treat you

Let me feel 1 percent of the happiness i give to you

Maybe i might feel something, anything

Until then there's no need to play pretend

I will be numb, I will feel nothing at all

I can live in reality, as harsh as it may be

I'll live with my scarred hope, and non existent love

It's better than dreaming up these nightmares

Maybe then I can gain back my selfworth and feel a little self respect

You took this away from me, but it's okay

So, now please, Let me go, leave me here, love, it's for the best.
