Play It Safe Lyrics by EVVI

Hearts

2024

[Verse 1]
A television version of every emotion
Our painful devotion to the roles we play
Standing ovations, our crime sells well now
You never look at me from your side of the stage

I’m thinking of quitting ‘cause I’ve got the feeling
That all of these masks are becoming my face
I’m thinking of quitting ‘cause I’ve got the feeling
That all of these masks are becoming my face

[Chorus]
We used up all of our hearts
And purposely missed every last shot
We were always a million miles away
I was ready to try, but you play it safe
You play it safe
You play it safe
You play it

[Verse 2]
A scripted performance of another romance
I’ll always look at you when I’m holding his hand
Another crowd’s cheering, your successful evening
But I’m getting sick of faking welcoming smiles

We’re under the lights now let’s put on our show
The one we’ve been planning a long time ago
And everyone’s watching, it’s a curtain call
I turn to you but

You shake your head no
You shake your head no
You shake your head no

[Chorus]
We used up all of our hearts
And purposely missed every last shot
We were always a million miles away
I was ready to try, but you play it safe
You play it safe
You play it safe
You play it

[Outro]
We used up all of our hearts
And purposely missed every last shot
We were always a million miles away
