lyrics

This isn't a Game

You broke up to make a point
I took the hint and ran
Then tried to take it back
With everything inside--thought you were the one
But two hearts broken, a past that died
Empty arguments and no room for compromise
I can see it in your eyes
Oh this isn't a game
And this isn't a game you can win

You said no more things have to die
If they might ever come to life
"Never call." "Never call again."
And while that I was best
I truly hope
You don't think I'll like you coming back again
You can't play like this
Oh this isn't a game
And this isn't a game you can win

You touched my cheek with one small finger
You're in love, but I'm committed
You will leave
No matter what you think of me
All those warnings that you gave
I can see now, you were brave
But I'm a fool, my heart ain't yours
Oh this isn't a game
And this isn't a game you can win

Our lips met for my first kiss
An hour passed before we left
And your eyes, burned right into mine
Your fingertips upon my neck,
Made me burn inside and then
Was the train--and the platform where we're parting
And you want me but your words are empty
Was I just a salve
For your lonliness
Oh this isn't a game
And this is isn't a game you can win
Oh this isn't a game
And this isn't a game you can win
