This Game
May 6, 2021
They told me to live life without you
Told me to never waste my time
Don't give him your tears
You smile, and you wait
It will work out how it's wanted
He may never be yours
Don't give him your tears
You smile, leave it up to fate
I'm not thinking about tomorrow
But I think that you should stay
For the sake of all our sorrows
I'm not one to play this game
They want me to live life without you
Want me to try and find someone else
But, when I close my eyes, all I see is your smile
What if I want to hold you tight?
Day and night, I could call you mine
Would you let our hearts collide?
Look into my eyes
I'm not thinking about tomorrow
But I think that you should stay
For the sake of all our sorrows
I'm not one to play this game

This piece is about the heart-breaking desire to be in a relationship you know in your gut is wrong and is messing with your head. You are stuck in a cycle that you love and hate where you refuse to admit how much you desire a "tomorrow" with the other person.
