Once in a while, I act like a child
To feel like a kid again
It gets like a prison in the body I'm living in
'Cause everyone's watching and quick to start talking
I'm losing my innocence
Wish I were a little girl, without the weight of the world
It would be nice to start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, I'd bend
Let's play pretend
Remember the time we had soda for wine
And got by on gratitude?
The worst they could do to you was check your attitude
Yeah, when fights were for fun, we had water in guns
And a place we could call our own
How we lost hold of home, I guess I'll never know
It would be nice to start over again
Before we were men
I'd give, I'd bend
Let's play pretend
And when it's the end
Our lives will make sense
We'll love, we'll bend
Let's play pretend
It's not going to be long, before we're all gone
With nothing to show for them
Stop taking lives, come on, let's all grow up again
