Crying Game

(Album: Sincerely Yours - 2001)

I think that I have played this game before
It's been a little while
So I'm no that sure
Maybe they changed the box a bit
Put a few more pieces inside of it
The names have changed to ones
I'm not familiar with

But I know it's the same game
Although the faces change
It must be 'cause it plays the same
First up and down and then the bag
This is the one because I recognize the pain

[Pre-Chorus:]
At the end
I don't win again

[Chorus:]
Crying game who wants to play
When all there are
Are losers
And if you choose it
You'll always lose it
The crying game
Who wants to play
The crying game
When all there are
Are losers
Glimpse of the sun
Eternal rain
The crying game
All it brings it pain

[Verse 2:]
Thought I would have learned my lesson then
Back when I was young and we were more like friends
Though my heart still felt the pain from then
Sure enough I let you back again
Will I allow myself to let this cycle end

And I have no one to blame
I guess cupid lost his aim
Must have hit me in my let again
My knees get weak and I begin
To persuade myself to be the one to love again

[Pre-Chorus:]
I can't bare
That you don't care anymore

[Bridge:]
Free me from all of my dark despair
Grant me 3 wishes so that I can be anywhere but here
Storms of life evacuate my heart
Because the lessons you teach with the people I meet
Are tearing me apart
