lyrics

Playing the Fool

You left my house
Your hair on my sheets
But the covers were pulled over neat
Couldn’t breathe in amoungst a crowd
Just incase our hearts beat too loud

I’m tongue tied and i’m knocking on wood
I’m tongue tired and i’m still understood

Well I know its not the fashion
To feel this way to start
the claws get their scratch on
When we’re countries a part
and i know its not the real deal
and i’m tryin’ a play it cool
And i’m paralysed by the feels
i know i’m playing the fool
Playing the fool

the walls talk
You say its just drink
But your eyes i cant even blink
the other ones i can’t even see
Young, hot, bold, they, he, or she

I’m tongue tied and i’m knocking on wood
I’m tongue tired and i’m still understood
I’m tongue tied and i’m knocking on wood
I’m tongue tired and i’m still understood

Well I know its not the fashion
To feel this way to start
the claws get their scratch on
When we’re countries a part
and i know its not the real deal
and i’m tryin’ a play it cool
And i’m paralysed by the feels
i know i’m playing the fool
Playing the fool

Oh shit not this again
Why didn’t i learn my lesson
Why didn’t i stop when i should
Why didnt i stop when i could

I’m tongue tied and i’m knocking on wood
I’m tongue tired and i’m still understood
I’m tongue tied and i’m knocking on wood
I’m tongue tired and i’m still understood

Well I know its not the fashion
To feel this way to start
the claws get their scratch on
When we’re countries a part
and i know its not the real deal
and i’m tryin’ a play it cool
And i’m paralysed by the feels
i know i’m playing the fool
Playing the fool
Playing the fool
Playing the fool
