Name: The Game
Duration: P00H03M39S
Description: It’s easy to let emotion control you, and be tossed around with the wind. I wrote this song about the thought that maybe that’s not the best way to live & can result in people getting hurt on all sides. And how love, real love, is far more true & stable than a fleeting emotion.

about

It’s easy to let emotion control you, and be tossed around with the wind. I wrote this song about the thought that maybe that’s not the best way to live & can result in people getting hurt on all sides. And how love, real love, is far more true & stable than a fleeting emotion.

lyrics

They say love is a game we might not play if we knew
 that we all play to win but in every game someone has to lose

The time you left me alone did damage like you will never know 
despite all the sorrow and the pain,  I’ll stay, and I’ll play, this game, I’ll stay

I know its just a word, but I’m sorry, I’m so sorry
 I know its just a word, but I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, yeah
 It might sound absurd but I’m sorry, I’m so sorry
 Its more than just a word, and I’m sorry, I’m so sorry

I know now love’s not a game, or about if we win or lose 
maybe love is a choice and turns out the way we chose
