Play The Part Lyrics

I put my mask on one more time tonight

Head to the stage and I'm blinded by the lights

The crowd looks my way, all their eyes on me

But the weight of your stare is the only one I feel

I know what you want me to do

You're so obsessed with what they think of you

You want me to

Play the part

I know the lines

Play the part

So you can shine, oh no

Play the part

Like I don't mind

The way you play me every single time

Every single time

Oh

Show is over, I gave my all again

Standing ovation, but they're cheering your way

While I wait backstage for you to come to me

After you're done getting the attention that you need

I did what you wanted me to do

But you're just thinking 'bout tomorrow aren't you

You'll want me to

Play the part

I know the lines

Play the part

So you can shine, oh no

Play the part

Like I don't mind

The way you play me every single time

Every single time

Oh

But I'm tired of trying

Tired of denying, yeah yeah

If I only knew

That you just wanted someone to

Play the part

I know the lines

Play the part

So you can shine, oh no

Play the part

Like I don't mind

The way you play me every single time

Play the part

I know the lines

Play the part

So you can shine, oh no

Play the part

Like I don't mind

The way you play me every single time

Every single time

Oh

Every single time
