Pinch Me
[Intro]
Hey, oh, yeah

[Verse 1]
My heart's been beaten, scarred and worn out
I played this game with everything in my power
I keep on losing all that I own
Gave up my trust just to end up alone

[Pre-Chorus I]
And here you come asking for my hand
Telling me you’re different
And honestly I'll be lying if I said I didn't believe it
You got me feeling hopeful, thinking you might be right
But if this is gonna be one of those leave you high and dry
Go ahead and

[Chorus]
Pinch me now, wake me up
Up from what appears to be the pеrfect dream lover
Pinch mе now, wake me up
Don’t let me get to the good part if you gonna break my heart
Pinch me now

[Verse 2]
I been mistreated, used and abused
Promised myself I wouldn't be another man's fool
It used to hurt me just to crack a smile
Till you gave me love, got me cheesing up a storm now
[Pre-Chorus II]
I remember when you told me, you're nothing like the others
Looked at you like you were bluffing, now I'm a believer
Before I give you everything, before I get caught up
If you don't plan on stayin', walk away and save us both the trouble
Go ahead and

[Chorus]
Pinch me now, wake me up
Up from what appears to be the perfect dream lover
Pinch me now, wake me up
Don't let me get to the good part if you gonna break my heart
Pinch me now

[Bridge]
I am tryna be optimistic but I’m empty, baby
People dippin’ in and out, taking what they want and then leaving me
So I've lost patience when it comes to my heart
I rather end it now before the pain starts
So unless you got interest to invest what’s in your chest
I suggest you find an exit, it'd be best
If you

[Chorus]
Pinch me now, wake me up
Up from what appears to be the perfect dream lover
Pinch me now, wake me up
Don't let me get to the good part if you gonna break my heart
Pinch me now, wake me up
Up from what appears to be the perfect dream lover
Pinch me now, wake me up
Don't let me get to the good part if you gonna break my heart
Pinch me now
