You say I need help
And I'm looking at you but you're calling an Uber
And I say let's just get the tube home
We'll whack on some 2 tone
It was good in the 80s, no the 70s
You correct me
Come on just give me a break
We play the silliest games
I've got enough on my plate
And I would have thought
That you could relate but
You pushed me away
And I'm sick and tired
Of taking your bait
Take it all in
Take it away now
I think we're starting to fade
We tread on a fine line
We say all the same lines
It's about time it changed
We'll see in the daytime
Have you got time?
It's always a maybe
And I'm thinking lately
I got something to say but...
I was trying hard to be second best
I was running fast to be neck and neck
I was sick and tired, always second guessed
I was kind of stressed but I'm pleasantly surprised
I couldn't lie, I used to think that I hated goodbyes
But seeing you leave is a blessing disguised
Come on just give me a break
We play the silliest games
I've got enough on my plate
And I would have thought
That you could relate but
You pushed me away
And I'm sick and tired
Of taking your bait
Take it all in
Take it away now
I think we're starting to fade
My Reebok shoes
Are scuffed to god knows where I didn't leave them there
And I find your platitudes
Suck the life out of me I don't really care
I need solid food
Your mushy peas don't make great souvenirs
I need solitude
Your sharp voice grates my skin
So come on just give me a break
We play the silliest games
I've got enough on my plate
And I would have thought
That you could relate but
You pushed me away
And I'm sick and tired
Of taking your bait
Take it all in
Take it away now
I think we're starting to fade
(We play those games)
(We start to fade)
Come on just give me a break
We play the silliest games
I've got enough on my plate
And I would have thought
That you could relate but
You pushed me away
And I'm sick and tired
Of taking your bait
Take it all in
Take it away now
I think we're starting to fade
