If We Could Just Pretend

Where did you go
And what did you do
With all that time
You were too scared to move
What is it like to be by yourself
For three and half years
For roughly three and a half years

If we could just pretend that I went to college
And that is why you haven't seen me
I wanted to go, but not for this long
I overdid it
I overdid it
Why did you say that I was one in a million?
Because I believed it
I thought I had something that you were too scared to lose

So if we could just pretend that I went to college
And traveled abroad
And did something different
Anything but just sitting at home
For three and a half years
Writing song after song after song

So what is it like to be by yourself
And feel like you'll die around everyone else
I thought I was one in a million
Well thanks for nothing

Thank you
Thank you
