It's Only a Game

I've been taking things slow
I've been playing it cool
Made the worst old mistakes
Rushing in like a fool
Until you came into view, it's true

I don't know what to do
Don't know how I should feel
Seems too good to be true
Feels unmistakeably real
And so I go spinning 'round like a wheel

Convincing myself, I can't be wrong
For taking my time with a love so strong
I know I should open the door
But my heart's been through all this before

So now
Even though it's so plain to see
Just how much you mean to me
Been telling myself, resist and refrain
It's only a game

I should've known
But I was too close to see
Been taking myself too seriously
No more, I've had my fill, and still

Ever since we've been friends
I've been yearning to say
A light that shines from within
Grows brighter each day
Been wishing for more, I keep my feelings at bay

Convincing myself, I can't be wrong
For taking my time with a love so strong
I know, I should open the door
But my heart's been through all this before

So now
Even though it's so plain to see
Just how much you mean to me
Been telling myself, resist and refrain
It's only a game

Only a game
Only a game
