In the Middle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woke up, got outta bed today (Yeah)
I tried to type a text but it's hard to find the words to say (Yee)
Feel like it isn't worth it (Yeah), I should move on, I should find a new bae (A new one)
You keep actin' like you're perfect, but the smile that you wear is too fake, it's too fake (Too fake, yee), I wish

[Pre-Chorus]
Wish it could feel the same again, old wounds
But we're feelin' the pain again
Your eyes will never see me the same again
And every time I think we're fixed, we just break again, yeah, uh

[Chorus]
And it might be too late to meet in the middle, yeah
But before you go, can you wait just a little? Yeah
This love's a ghost of what it used to be, yeah
But let me hold you close one last time, play pretend with me

[Post-Chorus]
Play pretend, play pretend (Yeah), play pretend (Pretend, yeah, pretend)
Just play pretend, play pretend, play pretend (Yeah, yeah, yeah), yeah, uh

[Verse 2]
It's 6 a.m., tonight became today (Yeah), funny, uh
Rock bottom, this feel like a doomsday (Yeah, it hurt, yeah)
But can you tell how far apart (Yeah) we've both become? (You know) Yeah (Yeah)
We both are numb (Yeah), so far removed from where we begun (Yeah, yeah, yeah), I wish, I wish, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Wish it could feel the same again, old wounds
But we're feelin' the pain again
Your eyes will never see me the same again
And every time I think we're fixed, we just break again, yeah

[Chorus]
Uh, and it might be too late (Yeah) to meet in the middle (Yeah), damn
But before you go, can you wait (Wait) just a little? (Just a little, yeah), yeah
This love's a ghost of what it (Yeah) used to be, yeah (Yee)
But let me hold you close one last time, play pretend with me (One time)

[Post-Chorus]
Play pretend, play pretend, play pretend (Yeah), yeah
Just play pretend, play pretend, play pretend

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
