Let's pretend
When a door is closed, a window opens...
They forgot to say you need to break it first.
You'll never get through without a cut or bruise
The scar will still be there...
The reminder never leaves.
Let's pretend that you can escape
That there are no thistles amongst the roses.
That when all hope is lost, there is pixie dust.
Let's pretend that dreams come true...
Without the nightmare you need to go through.
After a fire, new life will grow...
But first a world must die to make it so.
Love may be pure...
But hate must be known
Before you can be sure.
Let's pretend that nightmares are only in sleep
That there are no monsters amongst us.
That death is a myth and evil a lie.
Let's pretend we'll never hurt...
That we'll never cry.
They forgot to say you need to break it first.
You'll never get through without a cut or bruise
The scar will still be there...
The reminder never leaves.
Let's pretend that you can escape
That there are no thistles amongst the roses.
That when all hope is lost, there is pixie dust.
Let's pretend that dreams come true...
Without the nightmare you need to go through.
After a fire, new life will grow...
But first a world must die to make it so.
Love may be pure...
But hate must be known
Before you can be sure.
Let's pretend that nightmares are only in sleep
That there are no monsters amongst us.
That death is a myth and evil a lie.
Let's pretend we'll never hurt...
That we'll never cry.
