Pretending Gets Me Through (Lyric Video) Jen Msumba

Pretending Gets Me Through by Jen Msumba. Inspired by my favorite 90's punk bands, The Dead Milkmen and The Violent Femmes. I wrote the majority of these songs from the perspective of my teenage self.
Lyrics:
Mom canceled MTV
My best friend, just ditched me
Teenage brain woe is me
I’m running ‘round the house
Don’t know
What to do
So I close my eyes
And think of you
In my mind
We are two
Pretending gets me through
I'm too old to play with toys
I'm not ready to kiss a boy
I never know what to say
They all hate me anyway
Teacher how do you survive
Bell rings at two fifty five
I’ve been asleep since I arrived
Got other things on my mind
Don’t know
What to do
So I close my eyes
And think of you
In my mind
We are two
Pretending gets me through
I don’t want to have a crush
Yes i want to have a crush!
I'm in love and it’s a rush
Pretending gets me through
