I'll keep my cards to my chest,
And I'll pretend I'm the best,
You'll never know that I'm faking,
Baby.

And though my insides will churn,
This way will force me to learn,
And maybe this time I'll save you,
Baby.

Make believe,
Oh, oh, you learn to make believe,
Make believe,
Oh, oh, you learn to make believe,

This world is built on pretend,
And all you want in the end,
It's all just there for the taking,
Baby.

And though my insides will churn,
This way will force me to learn,
And maybe this time I'll save you,
Baby.

Make believe,
Oh, oh, you learn to make believe,
Make believe,
Oh, oh, you learn to make believe,

I'll keep my cards to my chest,
And I'll pretend I'm the best,
You'll never know that I'm faking,
Baby.

I'm tired of living the slave,
It's just an image I've made,
And maybe this time I'll save you,
Baby.

Make believe,
Oh, oh, you learn to make believe,
Make believe,
Oh, oh, you learn to make believe,

Give someone an inch and they'll destroy you...
Why should I always just pass the knife?
Weakness breeds a doubt I can't afford right now.
I'm so sick of being left behind...
Behind...
Behind...
