You never loved me if you did, you would stay
we play with Love like it's a video game
If only I knew the time it would waste.
We give it up and then start over again
you pick me up when you are not entertained?
I should've known all the time it would take trying to beat the game you play.
After all these mind games, what would I gain?
These levels, they all seem the same
I'll play you one more time then but if I win then that's it I quit. I can't keep on playing all these mind games.
What would I gain?
You've never been willing to change
I'll give it one more try then, but if I'm in
I'm taking my winnings, no new beginnings.
Have you ever had something that you love so much that it don't quite shine when the Sun rolls up
Cause the light that comes from it is untouched,
And it brightens you up but then frightens you nuff,
Cause it felt like you could throw up and your guts Rose up
When you got a little taste of that love hold up, don't rush
There's only so much gold dust when it goes you've no luck
You can fill the hole up with Stone and Coal but it won't be no good.
We try quit but we won't let go because the hold controls us
We know it's hopeless, Lord knows why we are so devoted
But don't role with a wholesome soul this is a game for the broken only.

Now I'm doing nothing but existing
This ain't Love, it's an addiction
But I was in so deep that I couldn't see the difference
See even with the signs all there, love is blind so therefore I must've missed them
The eyes won't stare where the mind don't wish them
How come, I couldn't keep my distance
How come I couldn't listen to my gut when it was twisting me up and giving me a nudge to get up
Before I become another victim
I tried running, but I tripped stumbled into this now I'm stuck up in the system
And the game ain't over, it's still in play and you're the main controller.
