I should be out there, having my fun
Drinking beers with the boys and watching time run
I should be listening to what I said
When I said stay away from who you can't forget

Now you come messing my heart around
All you had to do was be

And I can't play you down but I won't pull the trigger
If I said how I felt it would be something bigger
So fast I'll be face first, flat on the ground
It's a losing game trying to play you down

I should be thinking about other stuff
Maybe read a book on how to run from love
'Cause you dragged me down by the heels
Had me busting up for years and years

And now you come pushing my heart around
All you had to do was be

And I can't play you down but I won't pull the trigger
If I said how I felt it would be something bigger
So fast I'll be face first, flat on the ground
It's a losing game trying to play you down
It's a losing game trying to play you down

I don't wanna tell you what you already know
Everybody's talking
Everybody's talking
I need some more time just to be alone

But I can't play you down and I won't pull the trigger
If I said how I felt it would be something bigger
So fast I'll be face first, flat on the ground
It's a losing game trying to play you down
It's a losing game trying to play you down
It's a losing game trying to play, play, play you down

I think everybody knows it
I think everybody knows
