Lyrics

🎶 Make-Believe 💔

Verse 1

I used to stare at my reflection, wondering what I lacked,
Trying to be the kind of girl that would make you want me back.
I changed the way I talked, the things I’d say,
Just hoping you’d look at me like you did back in the day.

I gave you all my sunshine, you left me in the rain,
I kept on making excuses while you kept on causing pain.
I was busy loving you while you were playing games,
Now I’m picking up the pieces while you’re calling out her name.

Pre-Chorus

You had me thinking I was crazy
For the things I knew were true,
Now I’m finally finding myself
And letting go of you.

Chorus

I hope she knows the side of you
You never let me see,
The way you make a promise
Then act like it means nothing.
I spent so many sleepless nights
Trying to be enough for you,
But don’t come crying back to me
When she gets tired of you.

And I met your girl, she’s pretty,
Yeah, I guess she’s something new,
But I wonder if she knows
You used to tell me those things too.
You can tell her that you love her,
You can swear your love is true,
But don’t forget the girl you broke
Was once in love with you.

Verse 2

You still look at all my pictures,
Still keep checking on my life,
You act like you don’t miss me,
But you call me late at night.
You say you’re happy with her,
So why won’t you let me be?
If I’m really just your past,
Why you still watching me?

Bridge

I used to wish that I was her,
Wish I had her pretty eyes,
Wish that I could be the reason
You would never tell a lie.
Now I’d never trade places,
I don’t want the life she knew,
‘Cause if loving you means losing me,
I’ve got nothing left to prove.

You had someone who adored you,
Someone who would’ve stayed,
But you threw away a real love
For a game you thought you’d play.

Final Chorus

I hope she knows the side of you
That you tried to hide from me,
I hope she never has to wonder
Why she’s not enough to keep.
I hope she never cries at midnight
Over things you never explain,
I hope she never learns the hard way
That your love can feel like pain.

You can watch me from a distance,
You can wish that things were new,
But the girl who would’ve died for you
Is finally done with you.

Outro

I used to think I wasn’t fine enough,
Wasn’t wild enough to stay,
Now I know I was more than enough,
You just loved me the wrong way.

Keep your games and your excuses,
Keep the lies you called the truth,
I don’t need to be the girl she is…
I’m just glad I’m not with you.
