The Game

Unrequited love... what more can i say

A day 

A month

A year

Still no joy i fear

always ends in tears

can't get more severe

talk behind their hands

imma steal a glance

do i dare take a chance 

this game's a cruel dance

so much to lose

her lips when she chews 

set my mind on cruise 

why can't she just choose me?

or anybody??

set me free

give me back my liberty

is she blind can't she see i'm burning up

wonder if she's turning up

still yearning 

but i'm never learning 

is it the money I'm not earning

now she got me curling

bending over back 

til i hear a crack

no that's enough of that

soon i gotta move on

been bleeding so long

hollow optimism leading me on

no, i won't even try

cuz every time i look into her eyes

a part of me dies 

the stuff i say is lies

if i tell you i don't care

cuz it's just not fair

man i can't help but stare.
