Pretend - Lights (cover by Kailey MacDougall)

There is so much violence, ignorance and hate in the world today. Countless selfish acts that has brought worry for our world's future. Lights couldn't have written a better song for a time like right at this moment. What awful, devastating tragedies people all over the world have been experiencing. I feel that the whole world can relate to trying to think positive when bad things happen that leave us in worry. Or how we find ourselves reminiscing about good memories in tough times hoping there's a light at the end of the tunnel telling us everything will be ok. This song just gives me a moment of comfort throughout all the insanity that's happening everywhere.
Song written by: Lights
Once in a while
I act like a child
To feel like a kid again
It gets like a prison in
The body I'm living in
Cause everyone's watching
Quick to start talking
I'm losing my innocence
Wish I were a little girl
Without the weight of the world
It would be nice
To start over again,
Before we were men
I'd give, I'd bend
Let's play pretend
Remember the time
We had soda for wine
And got by on gratitude
The worst they could do to you
Was check your attitude
Yeah, when fights were for fun
We had water in guns
And a place we could call our own
How we lost hold of home
I guess I'll never know
It would be nice
To start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, I'd bend
Let's play pretend
And when it's the end
our lives will make sense
We'd love, We'd give, We'd bend
Let's play pretend
It's not going to be long
before we're all gone
with nothing to show for them
Stop taking lives, Come on
Let's all grow up again
It would be nice
to start over again
before we were men
I'd give, I'd bend
