Playing God
Paramore Lyrics
Can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well, maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I've been changing
That I'm not just simply ageing
Yeah, how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
If God's the game that you're playing
Well, we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you
Woah
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it
I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
I know you won't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

Songfacts says: On December 18, 2010 it was announced that Josh and Zac Farro were leaving Paramore. The departure was bitter with Josh, whom Hayley dated for a time, claiming there was a lot more going on behind the scenes than most fans were aware of. Hayley responded to MTV with the revelation that the majority of the songs on Brand New Eyes were about him. This presented a new light on such lyrics as this song's, "It has to be so lonely/ To be the only one who's holy."

[Verse 1]
Can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well, maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing
That I'm not just simply aging
Yeah, how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
Woah
[Chorus]
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
[Verse 2]
If God's the game that you're playing
Well, we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you
Woah
[Chorus]
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
[Bridge]
This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it
[Chorus]
I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
I know you won't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
And break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

>I was only 9 years old
>I loved Paramore so much, I had all the merchandise and Albums
>I pray to Paramore every night before bed, thanking them for the life I’ve been given
>"paramore is love" I say; “paramore is life”
>My dad hears me and calls me a faggot
>I know he was just jealous of my devotion for Paramore
>I called him a cunt
>He slaps me and sends me to go to sleep
>I’m crying now, and my face hurts
>I lay in bed and it’s really cold
>Suddenly, a warmth is moving towards me
>It’s Hayley

I can't make my own decisions
Não posso tomar as minhas próprias decisões
Or make any with precision
Ou tomar qualquer uma com precisão
Well, maybe you should tie me up
Bem, talvez você devesse me amarrar
So I don't go where you don't want me
Para eu não ir onde você não queira
You say that I've been changing
Você diz que estou mudando
That I'm not just simply aging
Que não estou apenas envelhecendo
Yeah, how could that be logical?
Sim, como isso poderia ser lógico?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
Apenas continue enfiando ideias pela minha garganta
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
You don't have to believe me
Você não precisa acreditar em mim
But the way I, way I see it
Mas do jeito que eu, do jeito que eu vejo
Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back
Da próxima vez que você apontar um dedo, talvez eu tenha que torcê-lo
Or break it, break it off
Ou quebrá-lo, quebrá-lo
Next time you point a finger
Da próxima vez que você apontar um dedo
I'll point you to the mirror
Eu vou te apontar o espelho
If God's the game that you're playing
Se você está brincando com o jogo de Deus
Well, we must get more acquainted
Bem, devemos nos familiarizar mais
Because it has to be so lonely
Porque deve ser tão solitário
To be the only one who's holy
Ser o único que é santo
It's just my humble opinion
É só a minha humilde opinião
But it's one that I believe in
Mas é uma em que acredito
You don't deserve a point of view
Você não merece um ponto de vista
If the only thing you see is you
Se a única coisa que você vê é você
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
You don't have to believe me
Você não precisa acreditar em mim
But the way I, way I see it
Mas do jeito que eu, do jeito que eu vejo
Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back
Da próxima vez que você apontar um dedo, talvez eu tenha que torcê-lo
Or break it, break it off
Ou quebrá-lo, quebrá-lo
Next time you point a finger
Da próxima vez que você apontar um dedo
I'll point you to the mirror
Eu vou te apontar o espelho
This is the last second chance
Esta é a última segunda chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
(Eu vou te apontar o espelho)
I'm half as good as it gets
Eu sou quase tão boa quanto posso ser
(I'll point you to the mirror)
(Eu vou te apontar o espelho)
I'm on both sides of the fence
Estou nos dois lados do muro
(I'll point you to the mirror)
(Eu vou te apontar o espelho)
Without a hint of regret
Sem um sinal de arrependimento
I'll hold you to it
Eu vou te segurar em frente a ele
I know you don't believe me
Sei que você não acredita em mim
But the way I, way I see it
Mas do jeito que eu, do jeito que eu vejo
Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back
Da próxima vez que você apontar um dedo, talvez eu tenha que torcê-lo
Or break it, break it off
Ou quebrá-lo, quebrá-lo
Next time you point a finger
Da próxima vez que você apontar um dedo
I'll point you to the mirror
Eu vou te apontar o espelho
I know you won't believe me
Sei que você não vai acreditar em mim
But the way I, way I see it
Mas do jeito que eu, do jeito que eu vejo
Next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back
Da próxima vez que você apontar um dedo, talvez eu tenha que torcê-lo
Or break it, break it off
Ou quebrá-lo, quebrá-lo
Next time you point a finger
Da próxima vez que você apontar um dedo
I'll point you to the mirror
Eu vou te apontar o espelho

Brand new eyes was their best album, literally NO skips
Topher Petrole
@Sebastián Baeza they sound really similar too. I still think they are really good songs though
Sebastián Baeza
I always skip looking up and feeling sorry, those are just fillers
Monica Cordova
Y’all are sleeping on after laughter. Brand new eyes is amazing but so is after laughter.

You know why we are all hooked with this band? This is how I see it. The vocals is so rare and is so powerful. The intruments are so accurate and has mystery as well. The lyrics and the message is poetic like they are written by the Great William Shakespeare. Lastly, the vocalist has this orange hair. That's magic.
Topher Petrole
Totally! This album gives me the most nostalgia and every song seems great. Every song on Riot! is great as well, so it's between those two like the most.

Takes me back to when I was 14 and I talked about Paramore ALL THE TIME. My Mum said it was phase. 11 YEARS LATER AND I'M STILL A PARAMORE FAN AND i TALK ABOUT THEM JUST AS MUCH AS I DID BACK THEN.
Keenan
Oh man I remember when they first arrived. I'm pretty sure Hayley defined a generation of fashion for teens back then, 2005-2010. Still amazing band, but I cannot understate how huge they were then. If you were in high school back then, it's not so much their music was everywhere, although my friends and I were huge fans, but basically, everytime I see Paramore's older music videos I am just transported to my teenage years. All the emo kids dressed like this, all the popular girls had their hair like Hayley's, so much hair dye and big fringes.
Azizah Whitlock
Yes... Forever a Parawhore lol. I had my wardrobe & haircut according to Hayley all the way up to college 😜
Curlisa Wiggins
Omg ! Same my mom kept calling me dark and emo 🖤 during this time in my life when she was definitely the center of this song and ignorance
