Anna Graceman - Playing Pretend Lyrics
What if we took down our walls?
We're too afraid of what people will think
What if we were who we are?
Without the lights, the headlines and the bling
For everybody that we know
And for everybody that we don't
Playing pretend
Life's just a game
Nobody wins
I'm not okay
Painting a smile
To entertain
I want what's real
Done playing pretend
Done playing pretend
What if we did what we want?
Let's just forget about what they might say
We can prove everyone wrong
If we stop posing like we're on display
Putting on a show
For everybody that we know
And for everybody that we don't
Playing pretend
Life's just a game
Nobody wins
I'm not okay
Painting a smile
To entertain
I want what's real
Not the charade
Done playing pretend
Done playing pretend
Take off the mask
Let's strip it down
Show you the me
I've finally found
Way underneath
This grand facade
Nowhere perfect
But at least I'm not...
Playing pretend, no no
Playing pretend, no no
Playing pretend
Life's just a game
Nobody wins
I'm not okay
Painting a smile
To entertain
I want what's real
Not the charade
Done playing pretend
Done playing pretend
Done playing pretend
Done playing pretend

God bless your remarkable tallent
go on the voice
Wonderful song, and beautiful video too! Both music and lyrics are great, and, as usual, Anna's singing is excellent; such a beautiful voice, and such high quality interpretation too! I'm running out of superlatives...
Really, I'm so impressed with this song, it instantly became one of my favorites.
What needs to happen for Anna to receive the recognition she so fully deserves?
I wish I had the answer. Anna is already one of the few major, top quality, singer-songwriters of our times. I feel lucky that I discovered Anna's music on You Tube, long before she appeared on AGT; ever since, her songs have been a delight and a joy for me (and for all her fans - I wish there were more of us).
Best of luck, Anna, one day it will come (that large scale recognition)!
Great work, Anna, as always! Love it!!
I love your music!! Keep it up!
damn the song just hits you
I'd like to hold your hand, that's what I want. ,,,, Michael xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoxxxxxxxxxxxxxoxxxxxxoxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoxxxxxxxoxxxxxxxxoxxxxxxoxxxxxoxxxxxxxxxoxxxxxoxxx
So gorgeous 😭😍😍
Wow Anna that was great.
Nice!! $**
Before you speak to me take of the mask.
Anna,
I can't help but pick up on some frustration on your part, where genuinely talented people are overlooked. Unfortunately that's the business and it's fickled. Stefani Germanotta actress and singer found this out but she still kept at it, still believed. Today we know Stefani as Lady Gaga who recent received the Academy Award for her performance on the song "Shallow." Your honesty and ability to connect with your audience are your greatest strengths. I feel you're still on your way of becoming the next Carole King or Sara Barelles. One day I may tell you why "Time Machine" is my favorite Anna Graceman song. Until then, I'll be waiting for your next great work.
Peace, Alan K.
Our anna is underrated
Thumbs Up ! Well done ;)
So soulful.....I always feel your emotion in your songs
Anna. Great Song. Have a great day AK Girl.

Another great song. Amazing voice
That’s amazing Anna ! Keep going 😘
We Love you :) Anna :)
The video has an Alice In Subterranean Homesick Blues Land vibe :) Great song, great performance :)
Honestly you deserve more attention and millions and millions of views been following you since Americans got talent you're absolutely phenomenal ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Alan, I gave you my stingy thumbs up because I agree with you 1000%. :)
@spongefreddie thanks buddy 😊
The problem certainly is not Anna's music. She needs to generate more traffic on her channel. I think it is a matter of not taking advantage of the A.I. advertising algorhythms these websites utilize. Everytime you buy some thing, the marketers keep track of it in order to build a consumer profile on you so they can target their advertising. What I mean is YouTube and Google are trying to bring viewers (consumers) together with the product providers (Anna). That's how they make their ad money by referring interested parties. You see Boyce Avenue and Haley Klinkhammer post lots of cover tunes. The algorhythms then notice this and recommend the fans of these covered songs to their channels. I think if Anna could do the occasional cover song (Elton John, Carole King, Sara Barielles, ALicia Keys, John Legend, etc.) then YTube would introduce these other music listeners to her channel. Recently a busker Allie Sherlock was discovered through her performances on the streets of Dublin, Ireland. She performed mostly cover tunes like "Shallow" and "Perfect." She now has a recording contract. She's only 13. I hope someone is advising Anna on this.
@Alan Kumashiro hate to burst your bubble but she's older than 13🤣
@Jacob Brown - I was referring to Allie Sherlock.
Beautiful Anna!!
Love the Alice in Wonderland scenario.
Instant click like always! Love your beautiful voice and presence!
Nice mix. This is one of the few times I feel the piano voice combo I love so much has not been the best option, however you let the music volume drown out your voice in many parts of this. I think that your voice should always be the dominant sound in your music, but I am just fan and not a musical expert.
Pure magic... pure Graceman.
... I like the Alice reference.
Nice production! 😀
