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
