Your Game
I’ve played this game too many times
The rules always seem to change
You’re always there holding back my roll
Or just too far out of range
You change your mind
Every other thought
Seems to be someone new
I should have known I’d loose the game
Because I played with you
I shouldn’t be so dang surprised
Cheating was always your way to win
I should have thought and remembered that
Before I let this game begin
Foolish is this heart of mine
Thinking you could change your ways
I’ll tell you now it’s over
No more of your dramatic plays
I’m through taking your excuses
My opinion will reign now from here
Did you think I’d trust you again
After you’d just appear
No more
No more
No more
My heart has made its choice
There is nothing you can do
It’s heard its own voice
That’s just too bad for you
I gave you more chances
Time to redeem
But even I was foolish not to see
That it was just a dream
So sorry old friend
But it is not my fault
You should have seen this coming
You shouldn’t have let yourself get caught
Trust is something you can’t handle
It’s not something that can be bought
Loyalty you’ll have to learn
To get what you want
To have what you need
These are things you have to earn
I’m sure you’ll have a blast
Playing with other peoples lives
It’s on my hands no longer
No more head first dives
You’re a fool
And people will see
Exactly who you are
Trust me when I say this
Without respect for the other players
You won’t make it far
I’ve played your game too many times
You always change the rules
I shall play this game no longer
Make someone else your fool
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The End
