[Verse] Teach me how to be real and Show me how to understand Dont let me swallow Whats it like to be alive? Where do all those good things hide? Toss me a lie [Chorus] Dont pick me up off the ground Ill be fine in a lost and found Just when I start to force a smile Just when Im laughing all the while Ive been faking Playing dead Dead [Verse] And I would wrap myself in stitches If youd wrap yourself in me And I would wrap myself in You could be the sunshine and I would be the force at hand Yeah, youd be so in demand [Chorus] Dont pick me up off the ground Ill be fine in a lost and found Just when I start to force a smile Just when Im laughing all the while Ive been faking Playing dead Dead [Vocalising] [Bridge] I could be the turpentine I could be the licorice I could be the winning one I could be the parting gift [Chorus] Dont pick me up off the ground Ill be fine in a lost and found Just when I start to force a smile Just when Im laughing all the while Ive been faking it Playing dead Dead Playing dead Im playing, Im playing, Im playing dead Dead Im playing, Im playing, Im playing dead Dead [Outro] But its all been just for pretend Maybe you can pretend To bring me to life again Sometime
