This Is How I Play It

All my friends they tell me I should move on

But it’s so dark at the bottom of the ocean

Still I pretend we're cool

This is how I play it

Wanting you how could that turn out so wrong

No way to know you would only make your own song

Sure I ignored the truth

This is how I play it

This is how

You hide the hurt away

This is how

You live another day

This is how

I keep the tears at bay

This is how I play it

This is how

Every time I think that I'm a big hit

Well there’s a law and I always seem to break it

Then I will act the fool

This is how I play it

Running scared I really couldn’t say why

I’m still the one who’s trying to make it all right

Swear I believe in you

This is how I play it

This is how

You hide the hurt away

This is how

You live another day

This is how

I keep the tears at bay

This is how I play it

This is how

This is how

You hide the hurt away

This is how

You live another day

This is how

I keep the tears at bay

This is how I play it

This is how

I keep a smiling face

This is how

I can survive the hate

This is how

You'll never see me break

This is how I play it

This is how

This is how
