Make-Believe
AK January 2009
Just a game of pretend.
Open up my wooden chest,
Put all my costumes to the test.
I can be whoever I want to be.
Put on a smile;
Make-believe reality.
Some-one, prove to me,
That I’m going to make it.
Some-one, tell me,
It’s all just a big mistake.
Some-one, give me,
A reason to wake up.
Some-one, shake me,
Before I make-believe this whole life away.
Doesn’t matter if you see through my façade.
I am what my outfit says.
For as long as I make-believe
I’ll be the princess in the castle;
I’ll be the elegant lady serving tea.
I’ll force you
To come in and play my game.
So I can see my fantasized world
And you can agree you see the same.
Some-one, prove to me,
That I’m going to make it.
Some-one, tell me,
It’s all just a big mistake.
Some-one, give me,
A reason to wake up.
Some-one, shake me,
Before I make-believe this whole life away.
If I can imagine,
I’ll never have to be me again.
If I can feign passion
Long enough to just get by
If I can pretend
The dedication is real
Then maybe, somebody will think I’m alive.
Some-one, prove to me,
That I’m going to make it.
Some-one, tell me,
It’s all just a big mistake.
Some-one, give me,
A reason to wake up.
Some-one, shake me,
Before I make-believe this whole life away.
