Playing the Part Lyrics by Safe Bet

Joy, Find Me

2020

[Verse 1]
Temporize
I play a vicious game with time
Until it catches up, so I bide
This is how I survive
[Verse 2]
Rarely ever go out, indifferent and lazy
And tired as hell, there's no point in believing
That I will get better somehow
'Cause I've felt so detached for a while
[Chorus]
Why does it seem like I'm just playing the part?
Is this truly how I feel in my heart?
[Verse 3]
So I've resigned, stepped out of position
It's not my time, don't think it ever will be
I've gotten so good at hiding what shouldn't be kept inside
[Verse 4]
This remains a recurring problem
And I'm to blame, but until I solve it
I can't relax
'Cause too many things fell off track
Can't get them back
[Chorus]
Why does it seem like I'm just playing the part?
Is this truly how I feel in my heart?
[Outro]
I keep my distance, avoid everyone
'Cause it's easy for me to withdraw
From everything that I'm invested in
Like I never connected at all
