Let's pretend we live in a world
where no one carries a broken heart
That we can truly be ourselves
without being criticized for who we are
Let's pretend everyone is loved
And every person you meet is polite
That every teenager is happy
never crying themselves to sleep at night
Let's pretend that we aren't alone
And that every body on earth has a friend
That they won't get caught up in drugs
And that they'll stay together until the end
Let's pretend we live in a fantasy
That everything we live for is a pointless lie
Life isn't some stupid fairytale
It's time we started to open our eyes
