Play Favorites

I look at you as if we've got no secrets but
You don't have anything to say
I could be wrong, but I believe that you were meant for me and
Things aren't going that way

How can you love when you can't breathe?
I'll keep my eyes up, baby, just know that I don't want to see

I look around as if there's someone listening to
All of these thoughts I want to keep
If you could hear them, oh, you'd spring me from this social cage, but
They'd just throw away the key

And what you love should set you free
I'll keep my mouth shut, baby, and hope that you come back for me

Oh no, don't go on like this. I'm not through wanting you around
I've come a long way to see you on this dark day and
I can't lose you now
We'll keep secrets, you and I. We'll play favorites until the day we die
Oh no, don't go on like this. I can't lose you now
I won't lose you now

I look ahead into the darkened distance for
One gray cloud to follow me
Go on and let yours tears wash down on this dirty place so
They might see when it's clean

And don't you long to be released?
I'll keep my eyes on the rain clouds and hope someday you will be free

Oh no, don't go on like this. I'm not through wanting you around
I've come a long way to see you on this dark day and
I can't lose you now
We'll keep secrets, you and I. We'll play favorites until the day we die
Oh no, don't go on like this. I can't lose you now
I won't lose you now

I don't want to see you go
But I don't want to take you back to places you've been running from
Oh, the more you give yourself away, it leaves a hole
And there's nothing else that I can say
