Playing Dead

If I pretend to sleep, will they go away?
Sleeping beauty never had it that way,
She slept on by till she was saved,
But I'd rather not get up today.

If I just play dead, would you leave me here?
Void of emotion, detatched from fear?
Would you think to shed a single tear,
And heed the signs to not go near?


I never wanted a hero,
I just wanted someone to sit by me and talk
And maybe not be so alone
and yeah, I guess I'm not all right
But I'll be fine
Eventually I'll wake
And feel the sun again


If I don't wake up, what would you say?
That you'd seen this coming, day after day?
Or "She's far too lazy, cast her away.
She's most likely dead anyway."

Oh if I could tell you what I've seen,
Half awake and half in dream,
Then you'd realize I'm just playing dead,
And nothing is as what they've said.


I never wanted a hero,
Just want someone to sit by me and talk
And maybe not be so alone
And yeah, I guess I'll be all right
But I'm not fine
At least not right now
But maybe soon enough I'll-

Listen to every word I speak
While I'm talking in my sleep.
And keep those secrets while I dream,
I need someone else to know, besides me.

Write them down and lock them up tight
And stay with me all through the night
and if I don't wake with morning's light,
Just know you did what you thought was right


I never wanted a hero,
Just wnat someone to sit by me and talk
And maybe not be so alone
And yeah, I guess I'll be all right
But I'm not fine
Assuming I don't drown
But maybe soon I'll wake up-

I never wanted a hero,
Just want someone to sit by me and talk
And maybe not be so alone
And yeah, I guess I'm not all right
But I'll be fine
Eventually I'll wake
And feel the sun again
