	This is the most personal song I have written to date. It is about my going through chemotherapy, and how I dealt with it's effects. The title came from my boyfriend at the time, who said I was "always guilty of Playing down" my illness. The song is pretty self-explanatory

	Lyrics Playing it down verse He's the kind of guy who likes to stay all alone Staring out the window, waiting for the phone to ring ring ring and it's not for him and he knows and he knows He's not feeling like himself, his body is falling apart He wants to ask for help but doesn't know where to start and he knows that you know that pre-chorus He is gulity of playing it down He's feeling tired from the pain like a prisoner bound and aching to be free he's missing the sounds of the laughing chorus But, It's alright, it's ok it's alright, it's ok it's alright it's ok Verse2 There is a certain danger in the way that he feels Numbing isolation and the emotions it steals like a thief in the night lost without sight And he knows and he knows But what's a couple of months when there's a long life to live? He's fighting for a chance that only God can give and he knows that you know that pre-chorus he is gulity of playing it down He's keeping it inside like a poor wounded clown Who just wants to smile again He misses the sounds of the laughing chorus it's alright, it's ok it's alright, it's ok Brige, There's a Lesson to be learned From every corner that you turn He turns left instead of turning right He's not blind, but what's the use of sight?
