Name of the Game

Hey you,
stop playing around,
you might steal my heart,
you could turn my life upside down.

Hey you,
it's like i'm waiting to be destroyed.
don't you know by now
i'm not your toy

Hold up,
should i just let go?
just another pawn on your board

If so than what's your next move?
should i go forward or just wait to be removed?

Oh she said:
Hold me and i'll stay in your arms,
but she'd be gone in less than an hour.
Hold me, protect me from harm,
but now it's me she's tearing up
Her eyes could tame the devil and god,
with every ounce of perfection she had flawed,
Tame the devil and god,
oh like she won my heart.
Hey hey, hey hey,
we've been playing this game for far too long,
just come over here, you'll see it's with me that you belong.

There are some of us who listen,
And some of us who to talk to much.
But when i think of you i can't do neither,
Bitter, you're my side i need to kill.
A part of me, half of the things i'll never feel,
again and again, you're coming into my mind.
Your smile, your touch, you haunt me all the time.
Don't say that you're not doing it on purpose i'm sure of it,
i'm drowning in your laugh, can't get to the surface.
i could write a thousand lines, oh so many verses
but when i think of talking to you i still always get nervous
it's a circus, i'm just running around.
i know, i'm a slave on my own ground,
i'm a broker, but i'd give any amount
watch the days go by, so fast i lost count.
yeah it's crazy how you could disappear from my life,
you'll plant an idea, and from it there will grow five
more, is where i'm stuck on this tape,
more is what is seek, yeah more is my bait.
i may sound demanding, but all i need is a date,
i'll turn your world around, you'll think that's it fate
you'll be sad, you'll be mad, you'll be out of control.
when i won't be around for you to hold,
you'll be missing something, a part of your soul.
i'll be the only one who can fill that hole.

Hold me and i'll stay in your arms,
but she'd be gone in less than an hour.
Hold me, protect me from harm,
but now it's me she's tearing up
Her eyes could tame the devil and god,
with every ounce of perfection she had flawed,
Tame the devil and god,
oh like she won my heart.
Hey hey, hey hey,
we've been playing this game for far too long,
just come over here, you'll see it's with me that you belong.

It's been an hour but i feel this is it,
we've been talking for minutes but it seems like a week.
All the stories you can tell,
All the memories you can share,
amount up to a kiss, a kiss you'll never dare.
See? you're staring at me.
With your sky blue eyes,
you could get me on one knee.
Don't tempt me, i'm a fool,
you don't really wanna see,
i don't need to break your walls,
oh it's me who's got the key.
When i see fit, i'll kick towards it.
Find me a guitar and i'll sweep you off your feet.
I'll be your Johnny Bravo, i'll be your Elvis Presley.
I'll be the one who knocks, so turn around and impress me.
I can remake you, turn up how i feel,
and in the end it's your heart i'm gonna steal.
You think you got me in your claws,
but you should know that i'm free,
i'll turn up to your friends,
shoot em down like one, two, three.

Hey you,
stop playing around,
yeah she'd be gone in less than an hour.
Hey you,
stop playing around,
with every ounce of perfection she had flawed
Hey you,
stop playing around,
we've been playing this game for far too long
Hey you,
stop playing around,
you'll see it's with me that you belong
Hey you,
stop playing around,
we've been playing this game for far too long
Hey you,
stop playing around,
you'll see it's with me that you belong
Hey you,
stop playing around,
we've been playing this game for far too long
Hey you,
stop playing around,
you'll see it's with me that you belong
