Play With Dynamite
Dancing with Danger: Amanda Fagan's Melodic Tale of Trust and Betrayal
Lyrics
And here you are, back at it again
Reflecting on the recurrence of a situation or behavior
Getting me into really tight situations
Being involved in difficult or challenging circumstances because of someone
You always seem to know just what buttons to push
Knowing how to provoke or manipulate someone effectively
It's really scary how I'm such an open book to you
Feeling vulnerable due to someone knowing you deeply
Shut down my rhyme and reason
Suppressing logical thinking and rationale
Just want me to believe in everything that you do
Pressuring to believe in someone's actions without question
It doesn't matter who you take down along the way
Disregarding consequences for others in pursuit of personal goals
Empty promises you make
Making commitments without intending to fulfill them
With you, it's all just a game
Seeing everything as a game, lacking sincerity
Why do I play the part of the fool with such an open heart
Recognizing the self-destructive role in a situation despite openness
I already know how this will end
Predicting the outcome despite being emotionally involved
I know I'll just get hurt again
Anticipating hurt despite continuing involvement
Know I should listen to my gut but you're just too easy to trust
Ignoring instincts due to misplaced trust
Do I seek comfort in your lies
Questioning the preference for false reassurances
Why do I play with dynamite
Contemplating the danger in engaging with risky situations or people
And here you are, back at it again
Reiterating the familiarity and predictability of manipulative behavior
You're always quick to remind me that you're my friend and that you always have my very best interest in mind
-Do you really think I'm that blind
-I know just what you're doing and I just let you do it
-'Cause it's pointless to fight
-Know you made up your mind
-I know what you came to do
-I know that you'll follow through no matter what I say
-So I guess I'll
Resigned acceptance of playing a predetermined role
Play the part of the fool with such an open heart
Repeating the cycle of vulnerability despite awareness
I already know how this will end
-I know I'll just get hurt again
-Know I should listen to my gut but you're just too easy to trust
-Do I seek comfort in your lies
Questioning the choice to find solace in falsehoods
Why do I play with dynamite
Pondering why one engages in perilous situations
And I wish that we could go back to the days
Longing for a past relationship devoid of manipulation
Back when you'd hear the words I'd say
-Back when I was still myself
-Back when you heard my cries for help
-I know there's still a part of me that holds on to what we used to be
-Before you burnt it all to ash
-I really want that person back
-So I'll just play the part of the fool with such an open heart
Recognizing the pattern of vulnerability and foreseen consequences
I already know how this will end
-I know I'll just get hurt again
-Know I should listen to my gut but you're just too easy to trust
-Do I seek comfort in your lies
-Why do I play with dynamite
Questioning the attraction to danger or risky behavior
Please don't make me choose (Oh, it's not too late to go back)
Weighing the difficult decision between loyalty and moral integrity
Between the life I had with you (It's not too late to take it back)
-And the moral thing to do (It's not too late. Don't turn your back on me)
-I really wish your act was just a ruse
-But I know you've lost your mind (Oh, it's not too late to go back)
-And I know that it's my time (It's not too late to take it back)
-Do I join you at your side (It's not too late. Don't turn your back on me)
-Or do I let you face your own demise
Dilemma of choosing between supporting someone or letting them face consequences
