Dangerous Game
Navigating Risky Emotions: 'Dangerous Game' by Gloria Estefan
Lyrics
I know I let you in
I allowed you into my life
I let down my defenses momentarily
I lowered my guard temporarily
At this moment of my life to be surprised
At this point in my life, I didn't expect surprises
With feelings I can never satisfy
Discovering emotions I can never fully fulfill
The words you wrote would free
Your words were supposed to reveal my protected vulnerabilities
My carefully protected vulnerability
Despite disguises, the vulnerability is exposed
Doesn't matter that both wear a disguise
Both parties are concealing their true selves
We can read the truth between the lines
Truth is discernible despite the disguise
Dangerous game
Engaging in a risky and potentially harmful relationship
Who's spared when it's over tomorrow
Uncertain who will be unaffected when it ends
I'd be a fool to keep this alive
It would be unwise to sustain this connection
When I know this can't go anywhere
Recognizing the relationship has no future
You know you let me in
You allowed me into your life
You lost your self control to curiosity
You succumbed to curiosity, losing self-control
Took the bait, I should have never lit the spark
I initiated something I shouldn't have
Answering your questions in the dark
Answering your questions in a situation lacking clarity
Dangerous game
Engaging in a risky and potentially harmful relationship (repeated)
Who's spared when it's over tomorrow
Uncertain who will be unaffected when it ends (repeated)
I'd be a fool to keep this alive
It would be unwise to sustain this connection (repeated)
When I know this can't go anywhere
Recognizing the relationship has no future (repeated)
Who's the one to blame when things begin to fall apart
Who is responsible when things fall apart
Never mind I should have known much better than to even start
Ignoring the realization that starting was a mistake
How did you make it over all the walls I build so high
Wondering how you breached the barriers I erected
Believing all you had to do was try
Believing it only required your effort to succeed
Dangerous game
Engaging in a risky and potentially harmful relationship (repeated)
Who's spared when it's over tomorrow
Uncertain who will be unaffected when it ends (repeated)
I'd be a fool to keep this alive
It would be unwise to sustain this connection (repeated)
When I know this can't go anywhere
Recognizing the relationship has no future (repeated)
