Games

Foolish games
Thats all it really was
I didn't know it then
But to you it was all fun

I thought for once I had it right
I gave it all I had
I really tried

But looking back now
I realize it would never work
Because everything you said was a lie

What hurts more
Is not that you left
But the fact that
I wasn't good enough

And in the end
You stole my heart
Like a major crime of theft

People change
And we all make mistakes
But emotions
Are not something
That are free to take

Everyone warned me
Said to raise the white flag
But I actually thought you could love me

What I didn't know
Was that I was just another girl
And to you that's all i'll ever be

Every word you said
Was rehearsed
Just like a play

Lines written one by one
That you recited like a verse

How many girls before
And how many after
It doesn't matter
Because to you we were all the same

Someday I hope
You see my face
And you stop and wonder
What it could have been

Because maybe
You will find out
That just because you play the game
That doesn't mean you always win
