Play Date
Melanie Martinez Lyrics

You call me on the telephone, you feel so far away
You reach out to me through the phone, but it still feels like we're miles apart.

You tell me to come over, there's some games you want to play
You ask me to come over to play some games with you.

I'm walking to your house, nobody's home
I'm making my way to your house, but it seems like no one's there.

Just me and you and you and me alone
It's just the two of us, all alone by ourselves.

We're just playing hide and seek
We're just playing a game of hiding and seeking.

It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you
Being around you is making it difficult for me to breathe.

I don't want to play no games
I'm tired of pretending and playing games with you.

I'm tired of always chasing, chasing after you
I'm exhausted from always being the one to pursue you.

I don't give a fuck about you anyways
I don't care about you.

Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?
Who even thinks I care about you?

You never share your toys or communicate
You don't share anything with me, including your thoughts or feelings.

I guess I'm just a play date to you
I realize that I'm just a temporary pastime for you.

Wake up in your bedroom and there's nothing left to say
I wake up in your room and there's nothing significant to talk about.

When I try to talk you're always playing board games
You're always too distracted to have a meaningful conversation with me.

I wish I had monopoly over your mind
I wish I had more control over your thoughts and actions.

I wish I didn't care all the time
I wish I didn't constantly worry and feel concerned about our relationship.

Ring around the rosy
We're going in circles with no real progress in our relationship.

I never know, I never know what you need
I'm always uncertain about what you want or need from me.

I want to give you, want to give you
I want to provide you with everything you need.

What you need
I want to fulfill all of your needs.

You know I give a fuck about you everyday
I do care about you and show that in my actions every day.

Guess it's time that I tell you the truth
It's time for me to be honest with you.

If I share my toys, will you let me stay?
If I open up and share my feelings with you, will you let me stick around?

Don't want to leave this play date with you
I don't want our time together to end.
