Artist: The Good Life
Song: Playing Dumb

There's no talk of future plans.
There's no romance. 
There's no good reason we should be in love. 
So I've been making shit up.
We're even sleeping in different beds.
Different schedules, but that's the best excuse you came up with.
Good enough that it still sticks.

Still I'm not tired of you holding out.
Theres nothing better to come along.
I'm not tired of being let down.
I'm tired of playing dumb.

There's no talk of the way you've been
Though the evidence is creeping between into our happy home.
I hardly notice anymore.
Matchbooks from the other side of town.
His long aching looks.
It's in other people's yards.
But that can't be what you want.

I'm not tired of you coming home too late.
But when you don't come home at all I can handle being alone.

I'm just tired of playing dumb.
I'm tired of playing dumb.
I'm tired of playing dumb.

There's no talk of how i am.
I'm not complaining, but maybe if you count words once in awhile.
