The Game
Said hello
Thought goodbye
I did not know
And I wondered why
All these things stay the same
We pull these strings
Play the game again
Play the game
When I said I do
Somehow meant I don’t
When I say I will
We both know I won’t
All these things stay the same
We pull these strings
Play the game again
Play the game
Said goodbye
As my mind screamed stay
But these lips they lie
And you’ve gone away
All these things stay the same
We pull these strings
Play the game again
