Play Your Part

Chorus:
Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with
Can we fake the life you know I should have had
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone else
You seem to have an important part
The lead role of my heart
You played it well along time ago
Until I started falling in love
And then you changed your character
And avoided all of your lines
Now the man I love is gone now
Can you play his part at this time
(Chorus)
Love is like a see saw it takes two in order for it to work
I'm working hard, I'm playing my part but the scene still won'twork
And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong
So I'll find someone who loves me
And who can play your part for life
I deserve a lot better than this
And I'm tired of acting like it's okay for me to give you my love
And receive nothing back in return
(Chorus)
