Play Your Game
Love's Dilemma: Breaking Free from the Game
Lyrics
You're smokin' hot
You are extremely attractive.
You're smokin' more
You are becoming even more attractive.
I bite my tongue
I restrain myself from speaking out.
You slam the door
You abruptly end our interaction.
Time has come to sink or swim
A critical moment has arrived where a decisive choice must be made.
You cast me out, you reel me in
You alternate between pushing me away and pulling me in.
And I'll live my whole life through if this is how you want it
I am willing to live my entire life in this manner if it aligns with your desires.
Tell me how's it gonna be
Please explain how the future will unfold.
You can't play your game with me
I won't participate in your manipulative behavior.
Drag me down
You bring me down.
Turn it all around
You reverse the situation completely.
I'm already inside out
I feel exposed and vulnerable.
Cut me loose
Release me from your grip.
All of this holdin' on
All the effort to hold on—does it mean anything to you?
Girl, am I your muse?
Am I the inspiration for your actions?
I'm letting you go
I am choosing to let you go.
'Cause I can't play
I won't engage in your game anymore.
No, I won't play your game no more
Reiteration: I won't play your manipulative game.
Oh, here we go again
We are repeating the same cycle once again.
You kick me out to let me in
You push me away just to pull me back in.
And I don't need your lip service
I don't need insincere words from you.
That bullshit
Rejecting dishonesty or insincere communication.
Girl, who are you talking to?
Questioning the sincerity of the conversation.
This game you play
The manipulative game you play is not meant for two people.
It ain't for two
Emphasizing that the manipulative game is a solo endeavor.
Drag me down
You bring me down.
Turn it all around
You reverse the situation completely.
I'm already inside out
I feel exposed and vulnerable.
Cut me loose
Release me from your grip.
All of this holdin' on
All the effort to hold on—does it mean anything to you?
Girl, am I your muse?
Am I the inspiration for your actions?
I'm letting you go
I am choosing to let you go.
'Cause I can't play
I won't engage in your game anymore.
No, I won't play your game no more
Reiteration: I won't play your manipulative game.
I won't play your game no more
Reiterating the decision not to play the manipulative game.
You know what's crazy
Expressing the paradoxical nature of the situation.
You turn me on
You ignite my desire.
Somewhere between the dusk and dawn
Between evening and morning, you have a captivating effect on me.
But what am supposed to do
Expressing uncertainty about how to act when the one I love is present.
When the only one I love is standing here in front of me
Despite everything, the person I love is here with me.
And everything tells me to leave?
Conflicted feelings about leaving despite the signs to do so.
But I know I'll never leave
An acknowledgment that, despite the conflicts, leaving is not an option.
It's like your game's a part of me
The manipulative game has become an integral part of the person's identity.
