“Dead as dead can be,” my doctor tells me
But I just canÂ’t believe him, never the optimistic one
IÂ’m sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, donÂ’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe youÂ’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 right and your ability
To becomeÂ…my perfect enemyÂ…

Wake up and face me, donÂ’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I’ll walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe youÂ’re better off this way

Maybe youÂ’re better off this way
Maybe youÂ’re better off this way
Maybe youÂ’re better off this way
YouÂ’re better of thisÂ…youÂ’re better off thisÂ…
Maybe youÂ’re better off!

Wake up and face me, donÂ’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I’ll walk away and say, “You fucking disappoint me!”
Maybe youÂ’re better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me!
