We play games like children;
white lies and hiding half-eaten pies,
we gave this love a try...
i played husband, you played nurse,
we played and played and still it hurts.
Come to bed, your restless angry head;
I lay there half-dead, your heart bleeding instead.
Yet we keep playing games like children,
white lies and hiding half-eaten pies,
we gave this love a try,
not your fault I promised you the sky.
Now it's falling, crumbling like it's our calling -
yet we keep building this uneven foundation,
balancing the weight on your end for my salvation,
keep pretending your strength is enough compensation;
my heads already deep down in the dirt,
I hope 'cos I landed first your fall don't hurt,
I hold no contract to your heart,
now you truly deserve that fresh start.
