Coward

[Verse 1]
Keep it close to my chest
So I can stay in the game
But I know I’ll regret when I don’t say your name
(When I don’t say your name)
Am I fanning the flame?
(Am I fanning the flame?)
Or just the coward to blame
For every time that I fold
From every hand that you play
Am I just insecure to be alone and afraid?
To be alone and betrayed

[Chorus]
But when everyone knows
Your cards on the floor
And there’s no where to go
Oh you can’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Will they love you the same?
Or will you die with the shame?
Oh you can’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Oh you can’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

[Verse 2]
No I don’t wanna bleed
Because I don’t want the mess
But if you happen to see
Then I just hope you forget
Hope you forget who I am
That I’m a coward instead

[Chorus]
But when everyone knows
Your cards on the floor
And there’s no where to go
Oh you can’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Will they love you the same?
Or will you die with the shame?
Oh you can’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Oh you can’t lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

[Outro]
(Everybody, everybody, anybody, yeah, hey)
Everybody got a clear shot to my blind side
I don't wanna fold under the gunfight
If you're calling me out on the cutoff
Will I show my true colors in the limelight?
I don't know
But it looks like I got way too comfortable behind the enemy lines
No way I can hide
Now I gotta make up my mind
So there’s not a chance that I lie
(Paint the floor with blood I’m a martyr)
Take me back to the purpose I was given all the way from the start everybody sing
(Paint the floor with blood I’m a martyr)
If I go out with my king of hearts
I want everybody in the world to see
