(Verse 1)
You're too perfect,
You know this,
My little, faithful tragedy,
You're so well at hiding,
Maybe next time we'll hide me,
Where they won't find me,
And they won't want me,
So drama-queen:
Let's play pretend again

(Chorus)
It's just too real this time,
We can't escape this time,
Hold your breath in,
Close your eyes,
Running through the streets inside your head,
Let's play pretend-let's play dead

(Verse 2)
We're too perfect,
And you know it,
But you won't speak these very words,
Because, well, misery's misheard,
Now let's go hide me,
Where I won't find me,
So I can fall apart once more,
And I don't want me anymore

(Chorus)
We're just too lost this time,
Find your own way out this time,
Hold your breath in,
Close your eyes,
The fevering throbbing in my head,
Let's play again-let's play dead

(Bridge)
Funny how they see me,
Because I'm so far from perfect,
I lie; they lie,
I lie; we lie,
I hate me; they hate me,
I hate me; we hate me,
Just hate me, go on
