Games you play

(Verse 1)

You pull me close just to push me away

Love’s a battlefield and I’m your favorite game

You deal the cards, but you’re rigging the deck

I’m falling deeper while you just disconnect

Every word is a bullet

Every promise, a lie

I keep trying to save you

But you won’t even try

(Pre-Chorus)

You say you’re scared of the fall

But I’m still the one who bleeds

You crave the power and control

While I’m down on my knees

(Chorus)

I’m done being the pawn in the games you play

You keep my heart hostage, then you run away

You want the love but you don’t want the pain

I’m breaking these chains, I won’t beg you to stay

No more losing myself in the games you play

(Verse 2)

You light a fire then you shut off the flame

You scream that I’m the problem, then you call out my name

You act like love is poison

But you drink every drop

You pull me in for addiction

Then push me off when it stops

(Pre-Chorus)

I gave you all of my soul

You never gave back a piece

You only want the control

You only wanted the leash

(Chorus)

I’m done being the pawn in the games you play

You keep my heart hostage, then you run away

You want the love but you don’t want the pain

I’m breaking these chains, I won’t beg you to stay

No more losing myself in the games you play

(Bridge — Screamed/Half-Sung)

You built these walls and called them love

But I’ve had enough — I’m rising up

I won’t drown in your doubts and fears

I won’t cry one more wasted tear

(Breakdown)

Love shouldn’t feel like torture

But with you it’s war, it’s war

You want a toy to control

But I’m not yours anymore

(Final Chorus)

I’m done being the pawn in the games you play

You keep my heart hostage, but I’ve found my way

You want the love but you don’t want the pain

I’m breaking these chains — watch me walk away

No more losing myself in the games you play

In the games you play
