Play Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You don't have to be the one
To break my heart again
You don't have to pay for the tears I've cried
Keep sending home the money
I'll be satisfied
Play dead
Play dead
It is the season for you playing dead
You give me a reason to get into bed
I'll put the flowers where you lay your head
You'll be the coward that's running away
Before you leave me
Play dead for me
Play dead
You want to reach me
Play dead for me
Play dead
Oooohh!
(And when you found me baby?)
From the other side
Keep sending home the money
And I'll be all right
It is the season for you playing dead
You give me a reason to get into bed
I'll put the flowers where you lay your head
You'll be the coward that's running away
Before you leave me
Play dead for me
If you want to reach me
Play dead for me
Before you leave me
If you want to reach me
Play dead
Play dead
