Rules Of Play
Now, sister, I have come to clear my name
Or at least try to
Is there something to free me from this pain?
Oh, what did I do now?
Following so many rules
Making so many mistakes
It keeps getting away from me
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
So many lies and disguises I can't tell what's fake
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
You and me, we are the same
Like stepping into traffic with a hand over my eyes
Feeling helpless to the tide
I try to run, but it's the same thing every time
We fight this war from different sides
But we never knew the rules
Bend, follow or to break
Lost in this place
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
So many lies and disguises I can't tell what's fake
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
You and me, we are the same
Under my breath, I've said your name a thousand times
I'd save your life if you'd save mine
I feel your pain, do you feel mine?
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
So many lies and disguises I can't tell what's fake
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
You and me, we are the same
Yeah, this life is a game that I don't know how to play
Oh, this life is a game that I don't know how to play
I don't know how to play
I don't know how to play
Or at least try to
Is there something to free me from this pain?
Oh, what did I do now?
Following so many rules
Making so many mistakes
It keeps getting away from me
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
So many lies and disguises I can't tell what's fake
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
You and me, we are the same
Like stepping into traffic with a hand over my eyes
Feeling helpless to the tide
I try to run, but it's the same thing every time
We fight this war from different sides
But we never knew the rules
Bend, follow or to break
Lost in this place
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
So many lies and disguises I can't tell what's fake
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
You and me, we are the same
Under my breath, I've said your name a thousand times
I'd save your life if you'd save mine
I feel your pain, do you feel mine?
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
So many lies and disguises I can't tell what's fake
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
You and me, we are the same
Yeah, this life is a game that I don't know how to play
Oh, this life is a game that I don't know how to play
I don't know how to play
I don't know how to play
