[Verse]
Met her under streetlights dim and cold
She was the warmth my hands couldn't hold
She said
"Boy
You got fire in your veins"
I said
"Girl
I got shadows
And they leave stains"
[Prechorus]
Told her I’d change
Yeah
Someday soon
But the streets play a darker tune
[Chorus]
She loved me through the war I brought
Through the nights when the devil fought
I gave her my heart but left my soul
She paid my price
I lost control
Oh
Love’s a game
And I played it wrong
Now her name’s the ghost in my song
[Verse 2]
The corner crew
They called my name
Deals and danger
A reckless game
She begged me to leave
Said
"They’ll take you down"
But I wore my pride like a broken crown
[Prechorus]
She was my angel
I was her curse
A love so deep
It made it worse
[Chorus]
She loved me through the war I brought
Through the nights when the devil fought
I gave her my heart but left my soul
She paid my price
I lost control
Oh
Love’s a game
And I played it wrong
Now her name’s the ghost in my song
