Games I Play

I drove with a good friend of mine Sipping by the window And her face stood still I said well would you look at the time Thought I’d done enough weeping But of course I will And that wasn’t the last time I lied To the face of a lover As a sleeping pill It’ll hurt as a question of pride Of course it will Chorus Breaking a heart can be So very lonely Especially your own Only love matters anyway But it didn’t feel great today Proving lyrics wrong I suppose you’re still a sad song I saw into your dreams one night Apologies for creeping I should’ve just knocked And the picture of me wasn’t right But I can’t really talk I listened to your music today I would’ve just asked But your number was blocked And I’m feeling rather lonely I’ll say You won’t be shocked Chorus Breaking a heart can be So very lonely Especially your own Only love matters anyway But it didn’t feel great today Proving lyrics wrong I suppose you’re still a sad song You don’t like my sad statistics But you’re the one who’s pessimistic Now I feel the characters are wrong My sabotage is masochistic And suddenly you’ve shed logistics Just when I had started moving on And I suppose you’re still x 3 Still a sad song

I don’t know what I should be saying But as always I will be talking too fast I don’t know what game to be playing But I just hope the match we’re on might last And all the while I guess I miss you I suppose that is the test And you passed It’s nice having you around And I will come around whenever I And I will be happy you asked How about we stop and just lay Here for a few more days, just wait while You need to go but I do not know if I like the distance of even a couple miles And it’s funny I was in three different countries but it didn’t hit like it is now And honey I think it will be the hardest when we are apart in the same town Don’t ask me how But all the while That’s what I’ll be thinking about All the while That’s what I’ll be thinking about You are so much kinder You’re a reminder of why cynicism bores You should know that I was the one shouting men are trash like twenty five minutes before And all the while I think I’d still be preaching If not for your creeping in through the door Now I smile Walking around like a lunatic Just Thinking of knowing you more And knowing me no doubt All the while That’s what I’ll be thinking about All the while That’s what I’ll be thinking about I wonder if you’d wanna drive away To another dodgy place or small town I wonder if I’d gone another day Would I have lost all faith somehow? Lucky I have you to think of now All the while that’s what I’ll be thinking about All the while that’s what I’ll be thinking about

Maybe he’s born with it Maybe the heartbreak is getting to him It seems that he’s over it What will we lose in the cynicism I don’t wanna know What I can’t be Do you think that your dad wouldn’t like me But we had a nice chat about coffee I thought I came across well I don’t wanna know What I can’t be I couldn’t make you jealous if it’s what I fancied I just wanna dance with another man And lay on your backseat I’m always gonna feel dumb And I know that somehow Trying to be the one Is redundant now That kind of deal takes two And I’m sensing your yearning half a mile away What the hell does it mean when you won’t even play All the parts that cast for yourself when you stayed I no longer know what to say It’s the games I play Maybe I’m born with it The way that I yearn for romanticism I’ve gotta get over it Maybe I’ll learn from his pragmatism I don’t wanna know What I can’t be Do you think that your dad wouldn’t like me I could revise all the history books And we would come across well I already know What I can’t be I couldn’t make you jealous if it’s what I fancied I just wanna dance with another man And lay on your backseat I’m always gonna feel dumb And I know that somehow Trying to be the one Is redundant now That kind of deal takes two And I’m sensing your yearning half a mile away What the hell does it mean when you won’t even play All the parts that cast for yourself when you stayed I no longer know what to say It’s the games I play
