Playing the Game

What is this game you’re playing with my heart?

Don’t you know I’m crazy about you?

You keep weaving in and out of my life.

Now I’m all alone without a clue.

What’s the worst that could happen if you stay?

You might find some happiness with me. But

Without a word you just up and walk away.

This is not the way it’s supposed to be.

 

There’s a lesson out there in the darkness,

One my lonely heart has yet to learn,

But you keep running away, playing the game.

One day I won’t be here when you return.

 

I really didn’t mind too much

The first time.

You still had a few wild oats to sew.

When you came back I thought it was forever.

I was blind. How was I to know?

But I won’t be your safety net any longer.

You can’t treat my heart like a swinging door.

Finally I’ve put it all together,

And I’m not playing your game anymore.

 

There’s a lesson out there in the darkness,

One my lonely heart has yet to learn,

But you keep running away, playing the game.

One day I won’t be here when you return.

I’m finished…

Playing the game.
