paroles de chanson we pretend - AVGUST

Hello smoke, hello mirror, yeah it's me again
Never close to revealing what I'm keeping in
Wanna be a lover, be a fighter, wanna be a friend
I know I can't be it all but can we pretend?
Everything's going to plan
And we just a step away from having toes in the sand
Doing anything we wanna cuz we know that we can
No more hoping and praying
That it's only pretend
No

Somewhere in Delaware there's a Damien Highsmith
He's working with chemicals on a factory night shift
His boss is a war veteran, running a tight ship
He tries to ignore stress but it comes with a vice grip
So when the morning comes you'll find him locking his door
Opening prescription bottles that are not from a store
Hoping not to feel his problems so he's popping some more
Eating handfuls of happiness 'til he falls to the floor
He used to pray to the Father when he was kneeling down
He is a father, he wish his father was still around
His family's in a different town and he's missing out
He needs to plan him a visit before he's in the ground
Another week, another month, another year comes to an end
Damien's calling his mother now to see if she can send
Him some money and he promises to see her when he can
Cuz it's hard to break her heart, but it's easy to pretend
(But it's easy to pretend)

Hello smoke, hello mirror, yeah it's me again
Never close to revealing what I'm keeping in
Wanna be a lover, be a fighter, wanna be a friend
I know I can't be it all but can we pretend?
Everything's going to plan
And we just a step away from having toes in the sand
Doing anything we wanna cuz we know that we can
No more hoping and praying
That it's only pretend
No

In California there's a mother of six
Her name's Alyssa Depp, but all her friends be calling her Lyss
She has an hourly position at a bank
With a chance for a raise
To make her rent she's gotta be the one company picks
But it's a toss up
Her children brought up
Without a father
And she's caught up
In weekly call ups
From Alma Mater
Coughing loans up
Before they go up
Her oldest daughter
Wanna know why
She on the phone but
Alyssa taught her
Not to be too nosy
The teacher says her youngest son might read too slowly
The preacher gives her comfort when she feels unholy
She dreams of taking trips and doing beach fronts only
But no
Another week, another month, another year comes to an end
All her children wanna go to DisneyLand just like their friends
She convinces them when winter comes she'll have enough to spends
Cuz it's hard to let them down, but it's easy to pretend
(But it's easy to pretend)

Hello smoke, hello mirror, yeah it's me again
Never close to revealing what I'm keeping in
Wanna be a lover, be a fighter, wanna be a friend
I know I can't be it all but can we pretend?
Everything's going to plan
And we just a step away from having toes in the sand
Doing anything we wanna cuz we know that we can
No more hoping and praying
That it's only pretend
No
