Effort

Time is moving like it's honey, but it never tasted sweet.
All I wanted was an angel, but he fell too many feet...
And so I ended upside down and turning around,
And wrapped up in a rope of lies.
Couldn't make it out of the maze, to find a way to you in time.

(Ooh)
And so I waited patiently for you to tell me what to do.
But when you told me why you'd leave,
I could not believe-

Effort is a game, that I was unaware I was playing,
So tell me why it feels the same, I always end up feeling in pain.
Driving me insane, was not in love it was in vain.
I'm hurt in ways I can't explain, don't let it happen again.
So don't you tell me that you love me again,
Cause all I want now is to stay, being friends.

I would love to try and like you, but it has to work both ways.
If you think that I'll put up with you,
You know that I'll send you away.
So tell me why you try so hard to hate on my heart,
Whenever you see me around.
The only person you're hurting is you,
And what goes around will come around.

(Ooh)
And I'm fed up of waiting up and trying to see it through.
But just before you try to go, I thought you should know-

Effort is a game, that I was unaware I was playing.
So tell me why it feels the same, I always end up feeling in pain.
Driving me insane, was not in love it was in vain.
I'm hurt in ways I can't explain, don't let it happen again.
So don't you tell me that you love me again,
Cause all I want now is to stay being friends.

(Ooh)
What a thing to do to someone you claim to love,
My love, that's not the way I treated you.
(Ooh)
None of it was true and when push comes to shove,
My love, that's not the way I treated you.

Effort is a game, that I was unaware I was playing.
