[Chorus]
I play dead
When you come around buckle down
So you know that we never gon'
Try again
Bite my tongue show you love I know either way I lose
So I turn my head
When I saw you out one night uptown I
Wasn't in the mood to let you down
Had to play dead so I won't forget

[Post-Chorus]
It was not love
It was never love
Yeah it's not love
It was never love
Yeah it's not love
It was never love
Yeah it's not love, yeah it's not love

[Verse 1]
I was chewing on my sweatshirt string
Full of nerves
You still said "I lovе you" first
This shit's feeling so rehearsed, damn
I think our small talk is making things worsе
You look to me when you can't see your worth
[Verse 2]
All our friends can't be friends now
You go out I stay homebound
Call me up to say you still feel proud
See me out here executing everything we used to lay in bed and talk about

[Chorus]
I play dead
When you come around buckle down
So you know that we never gon'
Try again
Bite my tongue show you love I know either way I lose
So I turn my head
When I saw you out one night uptown I
Wasn't in the mood to let you down
Had to play dead so I won't forget

[Post-Chorus]
It was not love
It was never love
Yeah it's not love
It was never love
Yeah it's not love
It was never love
Yeah it's not love, yeah it's not love
[Verse 3]
Would you curse me out?
I'm tryna feel something
Touching on your draws
Like I'm blind to your hurting
This is how we are and we both don't deserve it
I'ma head out we should work out our burdens

[Bridge]
I been kinda evil but you let it slide
If I play dead will it give you life?
I been kinda evil but you let it slide
If I play dead will it give you life?

[Chorus]
I play dead
When you come around buckle down
So you know that we never gon'
Try again
Bite my tongue show you love I know either way I lose
So I turn my head
When I saw you out one night uptown I
Wasn't in the mood to let you down
Had to play dead so I won't forget

[Post-Chorus]
It was not love
It was never love
Yeah it's not love
It was never love
Yeah it's not love
It was never love
Yeah it's not love, yeah it's not love
[Outro]
I been kinda evil but you let it slide
If I play dead will it give you life?
I been kinda evil but you let it slide
If I play dead will it give you life?
