Hollywood Love

I'll pretend I'm okay
If you'll pretend you care,
I don't need you,
this it my cross to bear

You aren't here to see
the tears succumb to gravity
Why does it matter
I'm filled with agony?

The melodies in my head
my life's sustenance when I'm alone
I'll be okay, I need no one
Guess I'm losing control

I get to the clouds,
we all come back down,
Coming back, falling,
Falling down to the ground

Spirals, swirls,
all the dreams spiral, swirl,
down the drain again and again
I'm no longer that girl

The one you used to know
the one you used to hold
That girl got lost in the pain
She quickly grew old

Withered and died,
Contortions of the heart
Twisted up inside,
We can play the parts.

I'll be your Juliet,
You be Romeo,
No truer than Hollywood,
Wanna pretend to be my hero?

I take a ride
on my mental roller coaster,
Up down, twisting around
You're off, wish I weren't sober

I'm hurting, I'm numb
You tell me don't cause a scene
You don't know how it feels to not feel
No sleep, just caffeine.

I get to the clouds,
we all come back down,
Coming back, falling,
Falling down to the ground

Pick me up...
I pick me back up
