Play Cool

[Verse 1]

I think this is broken

And it won't end

'Til someone says something

That they actually mean

Instead I'm trying to be

Three halves of a good friend

Crying outside the venue

At the name where I fell too

At the bottom once again

[Chorus]

Oh, I wish I didn't say that

I wanna stay happy out of context

But I got scared and you were so mad

Let's skip to the end and work our way back

From a distance we were still friends

Too close to see what was coming

[Verse 2]

So I probably should mention

My intention at the time was mostly to see

How drunk I could get in a half hour set

That's all music meant to me

Fought it cool for so long

I didn't realize I'm not fine

With playing make believe

[Chorus]

Oh, I wish I didn't say that

I wanna stay happy out of context

But I got scared and you were so mad

Let's skip to the end and work our way back

From a distance we were still friends

Too close to see what was coming

[Bridge]

So now we're going through the motions

Spent half a year on borrowed time

I think that maybe I was hoping

We could admit we won't be fine

[Chorus]

Oh, I wish I didn't say that

Trying my best not to make you mad

Sometimes your best is bad in context

I don't think I want it all to go back

From a distance we were still friends

Couldn't see what was coming

You pushed me off of the cliff, instead I'm jumping

Now you're out there hating me like it's nothing
