She don't make this thing easy My hopes are filled to the brim But I know she’ll never see me As anything more than a friend So I’ll just keep playing pretend Oh, woah, oh I know I'm usually not one to brag But I'm trynna fix what I lack But she don't notice at all I wanna be something morе than friends The pair with that happy end But maybе this thing will all blow So I'm falling down Wasting my thoughts On what ifs and how's What now? She don't make this thing easy My hopes are filled to the brim But I know she’ll never see me As anything more than a friend So I’ll just keep playing pretend Oh, oh, woah Hmm, no, oh, woah This thing was never easy My hopes spilled over the brim All I can say now is sorry For bringing us to an end Oh, I should've kept playing pretend
