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
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
Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your aim and your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Wake up
(Why can?t you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don?t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I?ll walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way
