play the part

[methrowrock]

This song swells and breaks my heart every single time. There is something about strumming acoustic guitars and ghostly choruses that stirs the pot of viscous melancholy deep within me. And so I won’t play a part/ In your mistake/ No way/ Not unless you stay This is how I have been feeling today, yesterday and the whole of this week. Ephemeral, shapeless and drifting. I smiled when you smiled, but there is nothing more to be done. I am not a lovelorn fool; I just have a predilection for short-lived flights of fancy that speak of vacuous frivolity on my part. Plenty of growing up to be done. I need to be so much more as a person. How does one even start? Maybe by not avoiding the pile of readings to be done hahaha.

Spending time
Convinced that it's mine with her
Just to keep her out of mind

Still I'll take care to see
Which way the wind blows
Notice how her hair curls

Pay no mind
To the clown who sits to your side
Content to yield despite pride

He is a fool to assume you'd spare a thought
I'm a thieve who's just been caught
And I don't find it funny anymore

And so I won't play the part
I played before
Oh, no...
Not to you

I don't see you laughing anyway
And so I won't play a part
In your mistake
No way

Not unless you stay
