Play Cool

[Verse 1]
I think this is broken
And it won't end
'Til someone says something
That they actually mean
Instead I'm trying to be
Three halves of a good friend
Crying outside the venue
At the name where I fell too
At the bottom once again

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I didn't say that
I wanna stay happy out of context
But I got scared and you were so mad
Let's skip to the end and work our way back
From a distance we were still friends
Too close to see what was coming

[Verse 2]
So I probably should mention
My intention at the time was mostly to see
How drunk I could get in a half hour set
That's all music meant to me
Fought it cool for so long
I didn't realize I'm not fine
With playing make believe

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I didn't say that
I wanna stay happy out of context
But I got scared and you were so mad
Let's skip to the end and work our way back
From a distance we were still friends
Too close to see what was coming

[Bridge]
So now we're going through the motions
Spent half a year on borrowed time
I think that maybe I was hoping
We could admit we won't be fine

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I didn't say that
Trying my best not to make you mad
Sometimes your best is bad in context
I don't think I want it all to go back
From a distance we were still friends
Couldn't see what was coming
You pushed me off of the cliff, instead I'm jumping
Now you're out there hating me like it's nothing
