Lyrics for Play Cool

I think this is broken And it won't end till someone says something That they actually mean Said I'm trying to be three halves of a good friend Crying outside the venue Aptly named where I fell to At the bottom once again Oh, I wish I didn't say that I wanna stay happy out of context But I got scared and you were so mad Let's skip to the end and work our way back From a distance we were still friends But too close to see what was coming So I probably should mention My intention at the time was mostly to see How drunk I could get in a half hour set That's all music meant to me Thought it cool for so long I Didn't realize I'm not fine With playing make believe Oh, I wish I didn't say that I wanna stay happy out of context But I got scared and you were so mad Let's skip to the end and work our way back From a distance we were still friends But too close to see what was coming So now we're going through the motions Spent half the year on borrowed time I think that maybe I was hoping We could admit we won't be fine Oh, I wish I didn't say that I'm trying my best not to make you mad Sometimes your best is bad in context I don't think I want it all to go back From a distance we were still friends I couldn't have seen what was coming You pushed me off of the cliff and said I'm jumping Now you're out there hating me like it's nothing
