Playing It Safe
Myka Relocate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a matter of time at stake
Now I've begun to see this was never the plan for me
Now it's time for us to start living
I've wasted too much time holding back
Should I be selfish or giving?
It's time to put my heart on track
'Cause hiding your hope and your love is too easy
Burning this bridge for too long
It's turning your back on the life that you're leading
Every single chance that you're given (The choices you make)
This is a matter of time at stake
Now I've begun to see this was never the plan for me
Your words are fake
And every lie you speak is a disease, whoa
This won't fall on me, yeah
Keep your realities away, yeah
Now you know
Now you know that
Playing it safe is so wrong
'Cause hiding your hope and your love is too easy
Burning this bridge for too long
It's turning your back on the life that you're leading
Now hold these times to your heart
'Cause we are all in this together
Be strong in who you are
These memories will last forever
You'll never see me hopeless
You'll never know what I was meant to be
You can call for bloodshed
You'll never see me bleed, uh
These clocks don't trust
In what we always try to tell ourselves
You can't weigh down my heart with the world's woes
This is the life I chose
These words don't brake like the arms you bend
You have a null void to defend
Playing it safe is so wrong
Oh, burning this bridge for too long
Whoa yeah, whoa yeah, give it your all
Don't get caught up in insecurities, hahahaha
Give your all
Playing it safe is so wrong
'Cause hiding your hope and your love is too easy
Burning this bridge for too long
It's turning your back on the life that you're leading
Now hold this time to your heart
'Cause we are all in this together
Be strong in who you are
These memories will last forever
Be strong in who you are
These memories will last forever
