​playing yourself Lyrics by Jake Cornell

2022

[Verse 1]
You tell me that you're fine
Then you call me up at night
When nobody's there to take you back home
You say "Baby, he's a friend"
And it's all up in my head
I don't know how I could've been so wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
But I learned my lesson, falling apart when you
Just want attention

[Chorus]
You call me when you're wasted
Just telling me that you need help
You think you're good at faking
Yeah, you're playing but you're playing your-
And you always do the same shit
Now I know I'm better by myself
Yeah, you think you're good at faking
You're playing but you're playing yourself

[Verse 2]
And maybe you should try
Finding somеone new tonight
'Cause you and mе both know I'm not the one
So you're talking to my friends
Just so you could make me jealous
You only want me now that I'm gone

[Pre-Chorus]
But I learned my lesson, falling apart when you
Just want attention

[Chorus]
You call me when you're wasted
Just telling me that you need help
You think you're good at faking
Yeah, you're playing but you're playing your-
And you always do the same shit
Now I know I'm better by myself
Yeah, you think you're good at faking
You're playing but you're playing yourself
You're playing but you're playing yourself
You're playing but you're playing yourself
