If You Don't Play

Eyes seen in red light
Dancing at night
I know that it's my call

Round one of the fight
Targets in sight
I'm ready to fall

But I can't move a bone
My weaknesses are shown
I can barely breathe
Oh no and then

Bright lights are switched on
Time to go home
I guess I'll take the easy way out

If you don't play then you don't lose
I know it's a sad excuse
But I can't take another tight defeat

Where there's no risk there's no regret
It is ringing in my head
I better give up on me not making a retreat

I keep peeling off labels
From empty beer bottles
Figuring out just what

What will be my tactics
Bombay or Hendricks
To make me brave enough

Then I see you tell your friends
'Bout my planned offense
You look and then you laugh
And I

I feel the heat rise
My courage melts like ice
Guess I go for plan B

If you don't play then you don't lose
I know it's a sad excuse
But I can't take another tight defeat

If there's no risk there's no regret
It is ringing in my head
I better give up on me not making a retreat

I wish I
Could stand up
And walk straight to you

But I'm stuck cause
I believe

If you don't play then you don't lose
Always has been my excuse
'Cause I can't take another tight defeat, yeah

If there's no risk there's no regret
It is ringing in my head
I better give up on me not making a retreat
