[Intro – Duo (soft)]
Mm-mm
Yeah
Don’t lie to me
⸻
Verse 1 – Male
You say you’re bored but you won’t leave
Say my name like it’s make-believe
Every time I get too close
You pull away, then pull me in
You love the rush, you love the fight
Love the way I stay all night
But when I ask what this all is
You change the song, you dodge the truth
⸻
Pre-Chorus – Male
If I’m just something you do for fun
Say it straight, don’t make me guess
I don’t wanna be your “maybe”
I don’t wanna be your mess
⸻
Chorus – Duo
Don’t play me like a game you’ll quit
Don’t say you care, then ghost like this
If you want me, say it out loud
If you don’t, don’t stick around
Don’t play me like I’m just a phase
Like I won’t feel it when you change
If I’m your heart, then let me stay
If not, don’t play me
⸻
Verse 2 – Female
You act cool but I see it
Every time your phone lights up
You say I’m reading too deep
But you never open up
You pull me close when you’re lonely
Push me back when you’re fine
I don’t wanna be your fallback
I don’t wanna waste my time
⸻
Pre-Chorus – Female
If I’m just someone you call at night
When you don’t wanna be alone
Don’t dress it up like it’s love
Just say you don’t wanna grow
⸻
Chorus – Duo
Don’t play me like a game you’ll quit
Don’t say you care, then ghost like this
If you want me, say it out loud
If you don’t, don’t stick around
Don’t play me like I’m just a phase
Like I won’t feel it when you change
If I’m your heart, then let me stay
If not, don’t play me
⸻
[Mid Instrumental]
(gritty guitar riff, live drums come in, distorted bass, wordless vocals)
⸻
Bridge – Duo (call & response)
Male: I been giving more than I should
Female: I been hoping maybe you would
Male: Tell me this is something real
Female: Or let me know how you feel
Both:
We’re dancing on the edge of truth
Halfway in, halfway loose
If this is all you came to do
Don’t play me
⸻
Final Chorus – Duo (full energy)
Don’t play me like you’ll never lose
Like my heart’s disposable to you
If you want me, say it now
Don’t keep me hanging off your doubt
Don’t play me like I won’t break
Like I won’t feel it when you fade
If you’re gonna walk away
Don’t play me
⸻
Outro – Duo (soft, stripped)
Don’t play me
Just say what you mean
Don’t play me
Yeah… just be real with me
