PLAYDEAD Lyrics by WIRES (UK)

2022

[Verse 1: Tommy White]
I'm standing at the edge of a crossroad
It looks an awful lot like a cliff edge now
I wanna say goodbye, comes out as hello
I hate you so much but silence is a terrible sound

[Refrain: Tommy White]
I don't like you
Bet you don't like me
But sometimes that shit gets so hard to see
I need some glasses
Tinted red and green
For all the red lights that I tried not to see

[Chorus: Tommy White & Maisie Dredge]
So you wanna play dead
With my emotions
You wanna play dead
Cause commotion
'Cause you act like I'm not even human
Thank god you're see through
You wanna play dead
I guess

[Verse 3: Maisie Dredge]
You've got me balancing on this tight rope
One step for me is a long way down
Heartbreak is one of your intentions
Still scared you'd take that knife to my throat
I don't like you
Why'd you act around me
We're not in sync, well clearly
Everything you said that you don't regret
You just sit and watch

[Verse 4: Maisie Dredge]
Me sinking
I'm bleeding
You cut me too deep and
I need to
Escape from every little word you said

[Chorus: Tommy White & Maisie Dredge]
So you wanna play dead
With my emotions?
You wanna play dead?
Cause commotion?
Cause you act like I'm not even human
Thank god you're see through
You wanna play dead
I guess
(Woah, oh, woah, oh)

[Refrain: Tommy White]
I don't like you bet you don't like me
But sometimes that shit gets so hard to see
I need some glasses
Tinted red and green
For all the red lights that I tried not to see

[Verse 5: Tommy White & Maisie Dredge]
Don't act like you care
You were never there
Your words still hurt me
You fucked with my head
Then you just play dead
I'm still running from
Every little word you said

[Verse 6: Tommy White & Maisie Dredge]
Don't act like you care
You were never there (From every little word you said)
Your words still hurt me (From every little word you said)
You fucked with my head
Then you just play dead
I'm still running from

[Outro: Tommy White]
Looks like I'm fighting something I'll never win
It's getting hard not to let you under my skin
But you clawed it up
The wound's infected
Why'd you have to get something beautiful just to wreck it?
