lyrics

I've been hearing lots of things you're saying
it's really strange how you'll never say them to my face
I've been hearing every day
about events that have never taken place
ain't it strange how when you left me behind
you had to talk and I couldn't be in the room?
if you can talk behind my back
why should I have ever trusted you?

what a strange situation
I should have left without hesitation
I tried to show you who I am
I'm sorry that you couldn't understand
what a stupid situation
unworthy of an explanation
we already know what happened
but we can all play pretend
why not play pretend?

I've been trying to fit into spaces
I should have never have gone
to which I don't belong
I tried to trade places
be in a backing band and play your song
but once I got an idea
that's all it ever could be
and that's all that it was
Just another Idea of what I am to you
and that's because

what a strange situation
I should have left without hesitation
I tried to show you who I am
I'm sorry that you couldn't understand
what a stupid situation
unworthy of an explanation
we already know what happened
but we can all play pretend
why not play pretend?

Why not play pretend?

halloween
by grieving club

Great songs with melodies that get stuck in your head. Much emo vibes. Bloth Arkheim
go to album
Nice Set
by LocalNewsLegend

Music stripped down to its bare essentials, songwriting that doesn't need anything to hide behind. Songs that can make your heart wrench or warm your heart, sometimes in the same song. Much feels, Bloth Arkheim
go to album
The Berserk Demo
by Roaming Bear

Really like the arrangements on this and the almost wobbly feeling of the whole album. Intended to be "demos" I don't think Bear will ever "finish" these songs and he doesn't need to. Bloth Arkheim
