Playing Your Part (Remix)
- NoVanity223
- **[Intro]**
- Yeah, yeah
- I gave you my heart, you were playing your part
- Should've known from the start
- Yeah
- Now I'm picking up the pieces in the dark
- **[Chorus]**
- You were playing your part, I was playing for keeps
- You were saying forever, then you left in a week
- Now I'm losing my sleep, got your voice in my dreams
- Everything that you promised wasn't what it seemed
- You were playing your part, I was giving my heart
- Now I'm driving alone with these tears in the dark
- Thought you loved who I am, guess you loved what you saw
- I was giving you everything, you gave me nothing at all
- **[Verse 1]**
- I remember late nights, talking 'bout a future
- Now when I look back, I don't even know who you were
- Had me thinking I was crazy when I knew something changed
- You could look me in my eyes while you're hiding the pain
- I was holding you close, you were pushing away
- Every "I love you" started sounding more fake
- Still I stayed, 'cause I thought we could fix it
- Now your name in my phone got me feeling conflicted
- Deleted our pictures, but they live in my head
- All the words that you said got me wishing I forget
- I was down for the ride, I was there through the stress
- You were there when it's good, disappeared at my worst
- That's a lesson I learned, love can turn into hurt
- You can give someone gold, they still treat it like dirt
- So I'm pouring these feelings all over the verse
- Trying to heal, but somehow it keeps getting worse
- **[Pre Chorus]**
- Tell me, was it real?
- Tell me, did you feel
- Anything you said when you promised you would stay?
- I don't need you back
- I just need the facts
- Was I loving somebody who was acting every day?
- **[Chorus]**
- You were playing your part, I was playing for keeps
- You were saying forever, then you left in a week
- Now I'm losing my sleep, got your voice in my dreams
- Everything that you promised wasn't what it seemed
- You were playing your part, I was giving my heart
- Now I'm driving alone with these tears in the dark
- Thought you loved who I am, guess you loved what you saw
- I was giving you everything, you gave me nothing at all
- **[Verse 2]**
- Now I'm back on my own, but I'm finding my way
- Some nights I still wish you would call me and say
- That you made a mistake, that you want me to stay
- Then I think 'bout the lies and I throw that away
- I can't keep going back to a love that was poison
- You had plenty of chances, you made your choices
- Now the silence is loud, but I finally enjoy it
- Rather hurt by myself than be somebody's option
- I was drowning for you while you watched from the shore
- Kept on giving you chances, you kept asking for more
- Had my heart on the floor, you just walked through the door
- Now I'm locking it up, I can't do this no more
- But I hope you remember when the nights get cold
- I was there when nobody was answering your phone
- You can find someone new, but you'll already know
- Real love ain't a game and a heart ain't a show
- **[Bridge]**
- Maybe one day I'll forget your name
- Maybe one day I won't feel this pain
- Maybe one day when they play our song
- I won't wonder where it all went wrong
- You played your part so perfectly
- Had me believing you'd never leave
- Now the curtain falls, finally I see
- You weren't who you pretended to be
- **[Final Chorus]**
- You were playing your part, I was playing for keeps
- You were saying forever, then you left in a week
- Now I'm getting my sleep, you don't live in my dreams
- Finally seeing your love wasn't what it seemed
- You were playing your part, I was giving my heart
- But I'm putting it back together piece by piece in the dark
- Yeah, you left me with scars, but they made me this strong
- I was giving you everything—now I'm finally moving on
- **[Outro]**
- Yeah, I'm finally moving on
- Thought I'd never be okay when you were gone
- You were playing your part
- I was giving my heart
- But the show is over now
- And I'm gone
