Playing The Part

It's Friday night and there's nothing left to talk about

The silence shatters like a glass pane broken on the ground

as your name rings out

It's been a while since I've spoke or even thought of you

I'd say I miss you but again the glares will shut me down

so I'll leave it out



Suspicions rattle every feeling that I had for you

They're overshadowing the times you said "forget them now"

I listened well

All those lies that you'd hoped would never get around

have finally surfaced and the contract out on your heart,

is collected now



You thought I'd never hear the rumors

and said "no matter what don't listen"

You think that I don't care about you

Well you brought it on yourself



Breaking hearts has become this little game to you

I'm sick of trying to mend up all the scattered parts

of broken hearts

It's not enough that I know you've been with other guys

I've got to hear it from my best friend that he turned you down

And you've let me down



And the truth be told, I'm breaking down

and my jaded thoughts are fading out

Everything I used to say, I'll mean again

Three weeks have gone by

since you've been in my mind

But tonight simple, lonely, pathetic me, I cried

I cried tonight



I'm forced to mock all that you stand for

So simply close your ears, don't listen

It's time you wise up to your senses (I don't care about you)



Break!



And you'll hate this

and won't take it lying down

But you'll learn

you brought it on yourself
