I’m not just playing tough
Leaving this love behind
I just got tired of being lost
But you, you caught me off guard
Oh my nights no longer sleep the same
Oh you, you pinched my heart
and I’m trading all I had, to call your name
I didn’t try so hard
To leave this past behind
I just got tired of being found
But you, you took it all
and you got me right there on the tracks
Oh you, you know it all
and I’m trading all I had, to have it back
It’s not a game I play
It’s just the way you make me feel
Down in the hallway, that night
where both our eyes shall meet
It’s not a game I play
It’s just the way you make it real
Doubting away
The very truth of me
Oh you, you caught me off guard
Oh my nights no longer sleep the same
Oh you, you took it all
and I’m trading all I had, to call your name
It’s not a game I play
It’s just the way you make me feel
Down in the hallway, that night
where both our eyes shall meet
It’s not a game I play
It’s just the way you make it real
Doubting away
The very truth of me
