Always Playing Games

 

Always playing games

Cradle hearts in your arms

Seductive lullaby’s, dangling hopes

On strings tied to fingertips

Kiss passionately, as lies and lust

Rain down your back

Cheating promises

You always play with cards hidden up your sleeve

Such a sleaze, such a waste, such a beautiful face

Caught in a haze as innocent eyes shine

Stinging with rage

Pray, as they say

Your prey awakens, as the truth spill’s

Hollow is your heart

Ripped jeans, tight shirt

You lied once more

Lipstick on napkins, sweet number

He caught you in the act

Didn’t know he was playing a role

In your musical of pleasure and pain

He stares at his cards, and you lay yours down

Ace, he closes the box

Keeps hidden a diamond ring
