The Game

(albüm: How Do You Love? - 2019)

You said I blacked out and couldn't catch my breath
I fell out all of my planned out steps
Now I just gotta get it back, gotta get it back before it's gone
Ted said to play it cool, you wanna make 'em sweat
Make the rules, don't ever follow them
Now I just gotta get back, gotta getcha back before you're gone

Now when you're counting minutes, set a timer
Avoid combustion or backfire
'Cause you're the only one who picks what happens next

You say you didn't care and I know that it was lie
'Cause you've cared, I think we both really tried
Now we just gotta get it back, gotta get it back before it's gone
And I want you to call, I know you probably won't
Should I call? I had to break my phone
No, I'll never get you back, never get you back before you're gone

And when your heart is beating, pinch your finger
Distract yourself from thoughts that linger
'Cause you're the only that picks what happens next

And tell me why it has to be so damn complicated
I'm thinking something so why shouldn't I say it?
All these rules seem so fucking dated
I'm a hypocrite 'cause, yeah, the game, I play it
Yeah, I play it

I think the you're scared of what it possibly means
That I'm not, what could I have in my sleeve?
But please don't go away, please don't go away
Just come love me
And I know I'm not shy, sometimes that scares people off
But I try to get the things that I want
Please don't go away, please don't go away
Just come love me

And when your feet are tapping, milk or milkshake
Give your body somewhat of a break
'Cause you're the only one you need to impress

And tell me why it has to be so damn complicated
I'm thinking something so why shouldn't I say it?
All these rules seem so fucking dated
I'm a hypocrite 'cause, yeah, the game, I play it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I play it
