Playing

And you’re dying to know her
The skin on her shoulders
And your tears start for no reason
Her smile like a beacon
And I find this is what I tell myself
This is what I tell myself

You’re playing, playing, playing around with what’s left of your heart
You’re playing and I come apart under pressure
There’s no way I could ever forget her

Blame it on her voice
But you know what you’re doing
You can blame it on her voice
You watch as she’s talking
Skittish as a deer
How softly she listens
To what no one else can hear
This is what I tell myself

You’re playing, playing
Playing, around with what’s left of your heart
You’re playing and I come apart under pressure
There’s no way I could ever forget her

Sitting on your hands
Lost among the damned
There’ll be places you cannot forget
Like an infant you’re crawling to your knees
Watch you push and shove in and out of love
The wind shifts and you sail out of your life

You’re playing, playing, playing, around with what’s left of your heart
You’re playing and I come apart under pressure
You’re playing, playing, playing, around with what’s left of your heart
You’re playing, playing, and I come apart under pressure
There’s no way I could ever forget her
