Lyrics

Woke up, got outta bed today (yeah)

Expressing the start of a new day, possibly with a sense of awakening or realization.

I tried to type a text, but

Struggling to compose a text message, suggesting difficulty in expressing feelings or thoughts.

It's hard to find the words to say (yeah)

Describing the challenge of finding appropriate words to convey a message.

Feel like it isn't worth it

Feeling that the current situation or relationship may not be worthwhile.

I should move on, I should find a new babe (a new one)

Considering moving on and finding a new romantic partner.

You keep actin' like you're perfect

Pointing out that the other person is pretending to be perfect despite wearing a fake smile.

But the smile that you wear is too fake, it's too fake

Highlighting the artificiality of the smile being presented.


Wish it could feel the same again, old wounds

Expressing a desire for the past to be revived, referring to old wounds.

But we're feelin' the pain again

Acknowledging the recurrence of emotional pain.

Your eyes will never see me the same again

Noting that the other person's perception of the speaker has changed.

And every time I think we're fixed, we just break again, yeah, uh

Expressing frustration that attempts to fix the relationship are futile, leading to repeated breakups.

And it might be too late to meet in the middle, yeah

Suggesting that reconciling and finding a middle ground may be too late.

But before you go, can you wait just a little? Yeah

Asking the partner to wait a bit before leaving.

This love's a ghost of what it used to be, yeah

Describing the current state of love as a mere remnant of its past intensity.

But let me hold you close one last time, play pretend with me

Proposing one final intimate moment, even if it's just pretending.


Play pretend, play pretend

Repeating the idea of playing pretend, emphasizing the act of pretending.

Play pretend, yeah

-

Just play pretend, play pretend

-

Play pretend

-

Yeah, uh, it's 6 AM, tonight became today, fuck

Noting the early morning hour and reflecting on the passage of time.

Uh, rock bottom, this feel like a doomsday

Describing a low point or crisis in life, likening it to a doomsday scenario.

But can you tell how far apart we've both become? Yeah

Pointing out the emotional distance between the speaker and the partner.

We both are numb, so far removed from where we begun

Both individuals feeling emotionally numb and far from their initial connection.

I wish, I wish, yeah

Expressing a wish or longing for something.


Wish it could feel the same again, old wounds

Repeating the theme of wanting the past feelings to return but acknowledging the recurring pain.

But we're feelin' the pain again

-

Your eyes will never see me the same again

-

And every time I think we're fixed, we just break again, yeah, uh

-

And it might be too late to meet in the middle, yeah

Suggesting that finding a middle ground in the relationship may be too late.

But before you go, can you wait just a little? Yeah

Asking for a brief pause before the partner leaves.

This love's a ghost of what it used to be, yeah

Reiterating that the current love is a shadow of its former self.

But let me hold you close one last time, play pretend with me

Requesting one last moment of closeness, even if it's just pretending.


Play pretend, play pretend

Repeating the idea of playing pretend, reinforcing the theme of pretending in the relationship.

Play pretend, yeah

-

Just play pretend, play pretend

-

Play pretend
