Lyrics

Play Safe

You played it safe all of your life

Always searching for something you can't find

Because you'd rather take the easy way

I can't believe you say that you're alive

Say that you're alive?

You're fooling me cause your hearts not beating

Say that you're alive?

You had a chance but you'd rather play it safe

Why can't you see there's more to what you're living?

I can't believe you say that you're alive

Say that you're alive?

You had a chance but you'd rather play it safe

My biggest fear?

A life that goes to waste

You're telling me that you're alive on the inside

But you're hearts not beating
