A Game I Don’t Wanna Play

Everyone ignores me when I’m trying to say
I just wanna wish all of this pain away
So sick of singing that same old song
Wish I could just stand up and sing along

Playing that game is just not the same
Every day’s just a different kind of game
I never, ever wanna hear the sound
Don’t push me, shove me or shut me down.

(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

Who, do you think, will tell me what to do?
He’ll try; she’ll try, but nothing new
When am I gonna break out of these chains?
They tie me down into a game so lame…

So many people try to make it right
But no way am I gonna give up without a fight
You don’t need me, well, that’s a shame
Your loss, I don’t wanna play your game

(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

And I know that you try to make the cut
But everything you do is not enough
The dreams you make don’t come true
And the nightmares are catching up to you

If you want you can follow me
But there’s nothing I can do to make you see
That I don’t really care what you think
I’ll leave before your eyes can blink

(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

And I know failing is just as good
As what
You’ve tried to force me into
Yeah
And what
You need to know is
I will never follow you

(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

    <3 it

    AMAZING.
    You're conception from song to poetry is absolutely astounding. I enjoyed reading this, it makes me think of "the game i play" everyday. Everyone has their own player pieces, everyone draws a card, but lots of people cannot collect money as they pass go. If you get what I mean.

  • pretty good, not the best i have gotten, but it is in the ballpark

  • Be very careful about using other people's lyrics/work...

    Yes, it fits in well. But always remember that warning...
    Otherwise, it's well done.

    no, it doesn't. my poems dont necessarily come from emotions that i'm feeling, this is just a weird one of mine.

    Jewl, PLEASE tell me that this has nothing to do with what's going on between you and me, because I'm trying, really, I am
