Playing My Game - Lene Marlin

Won’t open my mouth

You know what I’ll say

It hurts me that it’s gotta be this way

I can no longer hide

God knows I’ve tried

I held on as long as I could

If I could change it I would

This is the way I am

And this is what I do.

I cry my tears

But they’re not for you

Playing a game

I know you’ve done too

I shouldn’t have waited

But still it’s all the same

Cause you know

I’m just playing my game.

Close your ears if you don’t like the sound of my voice

You’re acting like I

Like I had a choice

But to leave you behind well,

I’ve made up my mind.

I cry my tears

But they not for you

Playing a game

I know you’ve done too

I shouldn’t have waited,

But still it is all the same

Because you know,

I’m just playing my game.

Don’t hold me with your eyes

The light in them I cannot see,

No need to blind me

There’s this darkness where I walk

You thought you had your future

All figured out.

I cry my tears

But they’re not for you

Playing a game

I know you’ve done too

I shouldn’t have waited,

But still it is all the same

Cause you know,

I’m just playing my game,

I’m playing my game.
