--- [Verse 1 Red velvet curtains, a love on display, A picture-perfect dream in a world so fake. You held my hand like it meant something real, But baby, we knew—we knew the deal. Cigarette smoke in a crystal glass, I played the role, but it couldn’t last. We broke hearts just to watch them fall, Like fools who thought they had it all. [Pre-Chorus Lipstick lies and sugar-coated sins, We made them weep, but no one wins. We swore it was nothing, just a passing game, But now I’m haunted by my own name. [Chorus Now he looks at me like I’m fool’s gold, A pretty illusion, but I’ve gone cold. Tried to love me, but he won’t forget, The ghost of the girl who played pretend. No silver screens, no movie end, No second chance, no “let’s pretend.” I lost the love I never knew I’d need, Just to dance in make-believe. [Verse 2 Midnight calls from a love I faked, Saying, “Baby, we can’t let this break.” But what’s the use in a hollow dream, When love’s not love—just a silent scream? I let the curtains finally fall, But echoes still haunt these walls. And now he’s gone, the one I chased, Left me drowning in my own disgrace. [Pre-Chorus Lipstick lies and sugar-coated sins, We made them weep, but no one wins. We swore it was nothing, just a passing game, But now I’m haunted by my own name. [Chorus Now he looks at me like I’m fool’s gold, A pretty illusion, but I’ve gone cold. Tried to love me, but he won’t forget, The ghost of the girl who played pretend. No silver screens, no movie end, No second chance, no “let’s pretend.” I lost the love I never knew I’d need, Just to dance in make-believe. [Bridge Champagne tears on a wedding dress, A love that died in a game of chess. I played my part, I took my bow, But what am I supposed to do now? [Outro Guess I should’ve known, Love ain't a game, love ain't a show. Now he’s gone and I’m left alone, A starlet with no place to go. ---
