The Leaving Game
Love's Gambit: The Leaving Game Unveiled
Lyrics
We always used to play the leaving game
We used to engage in the act of leaving, possibly in relationships.
We had to have our freedom now and then
We felt the need for occasional freedom.
Just a need to be with someone new
An urge to be with someone new, suggesting a desire for variety.
To run away and run right back again
We would run away but eventually come back, indicating a pattern of behavior.
How many times we played the leaving game
Reflecting on how frequently we played the leaving game.
Trading off tomorrow for today
Exchanging future prospects for immediate gratification.
We never stopped to see the danger signs
We ignored warning signs, possibly related to the consequences of our actions.
We always smiled and looked the other way
In the face of danger, we pretended not to notice and looked away.
Now I see it clearly
Realizing the situation more clearly now.
What were we thinking of?
Questioning the rationale behind our actions.
To think that we could play at love
Expressing disbelief that love could be treated as a game.
When your heart gets restless
When feeling discontent in the heart.
You can't ignore the rules
Ignoring established guidelines or norms becomes challenging.
Don't you know the leaving game
Highlighting that the leaving game is a risky endeavor.
Is just a game for fools?
Suggesting that engaging in the leaving game is foolish.
I never thought that love would pass us by
Unexpectedly realizing that love might not last.
But it seems we took the game too far
Acknowledging that we took the leaving game too far.
You found someone new along the way
Discovering a new connection in the process of leaving.
Baby, I just never thought you would
Expressing surprise that the other person found someone new.
I guess we played the leaving game too good
Admitting that playing the leaving game was done too effectively.
