Just a Game

I’ve been hit with a hard-dose of reality
I was a fool to think that you could ever want me
And live forever happily
That’s just crazy
I refuse to settle for anything but love
Something better than nothing’s still not good enough
You leave a lot to be desired
Just ain’t workin’

I’ll be somewhere stuck in the middle
I’ll be your anecdote for the next girl
I’ll be the one to realize too late (hey!)
It’s all just a game

I’ve been grasping too far outta my reach again
Talking myself up beyond recognition
In hopes you’d like what I said
I was just dreamin’
I heard you say something that made me wanna think twice
There is always something I’ll have to sacrifice
If you keep saying you’re not worthy
I just might believe it

I’ll be somewhere stuck in the middle
I’ll be your anecdote for the next girl
I’ll be the one to realize too late (hey!)
It’s all just a game
