Play Dead

[Verse 1]

I'm running out of options

God knows I've tried

To close all the doors

You wanna pry

I'll run against the clock and

You know that time is precious

You're wasting all of mine

On your hands and knees

You're begging me to stay

I could break your heart a million ways

Maybe you don't get the message

Learnt from your mistakes

Read between the lines and sound it out

Use your brain

[Pre Chorus]

Hush baby

Gonna make you cry

[Chorus]

Do I have to play dead to get it through your head?

You're draining all the life from my bloodstream

Do I have to play dead and paint myself in red?

My heart isn't yours

Doesn't even beat

Dress you in black

Drag you out to the back

See my name

And it's etched in a grave

Do I have to play dead to get it through your head?

I can see the end and its so sweet

[Verse 2]

I guess I never wanted

The life you saw

Behind a pearly picket fence

It never crossed my mind that

Your cookie cutter eyes are full of cruel intent

On your hands and knees you're begging me to pray

That I won't break your heart a million ways, baby

Miss the bigger picture in a dire state

Read between the lines

In bloody ink I axe your name

[Pre Chorus]

Don't blame me

You were never mine

[Chorus]

Do I have to play dead to get it through your head?

You're draining all the life from my bloodstream

Do I have to play dead and paint myself in red?

My heart isn't yours

Doesn't even beat

Dress you in black

Drag you out to the back

See my name

And it's etched in a grave

Do I have to play dead to get it through your head?

I can see the end and its so sweet
