Can I Play With Sadness? (Can I Play Without You?)
The drum line is the beat of my heart
So can I play with sadness?
The beat slows,
Then I die?
Can I play with sadness?
You walk by and the beat’s fast,
Lively like before.
I see you and instantly need you,
Can I Play Without You?
You’re the beat in my heart,
The beat to my soul.
Without you,
The drums don’t flow.
Can I Play Without You?
You bring me joy,
You bring me life.
Can I Play Without You?
Can I play with sadness?
Maybe I have fallen,
Maybe I was pushed,
Either way,
Your love is my hook.
You bring me joy,
You bring me life.
Can I Play Without You?
Can I play with sadness?
Don’t leave me,
Don’t kill me.
Leaving me only kills me
So don’t go.
The drum line is slowly ending
We’re exactly in the right beat now
I love you.
Where were you all my life?
You bring me joy,
You bring me life.
Can I Play Without You?
Can I play with sadness?
The end has almost come,
Not just for the drum.
There use to be a spark
But now I’ve learn.
I imagined the joy,
Imagined the life
I can play without you
But I still want you in my life
Not the perfect ending,
But it’s good enough for me.
We were here,
But now we are a use to be.
But I still can’t help but wonder…
You bring me joy,
You bring me life.
Can I Play Without You?
Can I play with sadness?
