[Verse 1]

"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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Leanin' 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

[Chorus]

Wake up (Why can't you?)

And face me (Come on now)

Don't play dead (Don't play dead)

'Cause maybe ('Cause maybe)

Someday (Someday)

I will walk away and say

"You disappoint me"

Maybe you're better off this way

[Bridge]

Maybe you're better off this way

Maybe you're better off this way

Maybe you're better off this way

You're better off this—

You're better off this—

Maybe you're better off—

[Chorus]

Wake up (Why can't you?)

And face me (Come on now)

Don't play dead (Don't play dead)

'Cause maybe ('Cause maybe)

Someday (Someday)

I will walk away and say

"You fucking disappoint me"

Maybe you're better off this way

[Post-Chorus]

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 and face me? (Wake up)

Why can't you turn and face me? (Wake up)

Why can't you turn and face me? (Go)

You fucking disappoint me
