Dead as dead can be My doctor tells me But I just can't believe him Ever the optimistic one I'm sure of your ability To become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me Don't play dead 'cause maybe Someday I will walk away and say You disappoint me Maybe you're better off this way
Leaning over you here Cold and catatonic I catch a brief reflection Of what you could and might have been It's your RIGHT and your ability To become my perfect enemy
Wake up (Why can’t you?) And face me (Come on now) Don't play dead (Don’t play dead) 'Cause maybe (Because maybe) Someday (Someday) I will walk away and say You disappoint me Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way (×4) You're better off this (×2) Maybe you're better off...
Wake up (Why can't you?) And face me (Come on now) Don't play dead (Don’t play dead) 'Cause maybe (Because maybe) Someday (Someday) I will walk away and say You fucking disappoint me Maybe you're better off this way!
Go ahead and play dead (GO!) I know that you can hear this (GO!) Go ahead and play dead (GO!)
Why can't you turn and face me? (WAKE UP!) Why can't you turn against me? (WAKE UP!) Why can't you turn against me? (WAKE UP!) Why can't you turn against me? (GO!) You fucking disappoint me
