lyrics

Don’t Play Dead
Music and lyrics by Matthew Schwartz

Did you miss the mark?
Hold for perspective
Here’s a brand new start
Room for reflection (reflection)
We can dwell on things or we can let them go
Listen to your heart and get yourself out of that head


it's ok
None of this matters anyway
we all make mistakes
Hell I made more than three today
So Darling don’t hold back, no, don’t play dead
When things get hard, listen to what I’ve said
because it’s all ok
None of this matters anyways

Alright alright
I don’t know your feelings
But I’ll fight I’ll fight
By your side baby
No matter what obstacle life puts in your way
when the task seems too large
Your strength outweighs mine by far
Just take a bite, stand up, dust off and march on and on
