Lyrics
I'm just trying to play it cool
I am attempting to appear composed and indifferent
I'm not playing by your rules
I refuse to conform to your established guidelines or expectations
And now I know what I should do
I now understand what actions I should take
Cause I can't handle the abuse
Because I cannot endure the mistreatment or harm
I don't know if you're worth this trouble
Uncertain if enduring difficulties for you is worthwhile
I can't stand another single heartbreak
I cannot handle another emotional setback
I don't know why you're playing these
Expressing confusion about the reasons behind your actions
I don't know why you're playing these
-I don't know why you're playing these
-Games
Referring to emotional manipulation or deceit as "Games"
If it's love that you're trying to gain
If your intention is to gain love
Don't look at me turn the other way
Do not seek my attention; look away
I don't know why you're playing these
Reiteration of confusion about the manipulative behavior
Games
-I'm starting to forgive you
Beginning to pardon or let go of resentment
For all the shit that you put me through
Despite the hardships you caused me
If it's love that you're trying to gain
If your goal is genuine love
Don't look at me turn the other way
Don't engage with me, go in the opposite direction
I don't know why you're playing these Games
Expressing continued confusion about manipulative actions
It's getting harder to breathe
Feeling suffocated or strained
When I don't have you here
When you are not present, it becomes challenging to breathe
And even harder to think
Thinking becomes even more difficult when you are around
When you are standing there
Expressing anxiety or fear when looking into your eyes
I look at you in the eyes
Observing you directly in the eyes
Nothing but constant fear
Experiencing constant fear in that gaze
But if I'm being honest
Honestly admitting a desire for your presence despite fears
I really want you here
-I don't know why you're playing these
Repeating confusion regarding manipulative actions
I don't know why you're playing these
-I don't know why you're playing these
-Games
