The Game

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 [Refrain] Now when you're counting minutes, set a timer Avoid combustion or backfire 'Cause you're the only one who picks what happens next [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] 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 [Chorus] 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 fuckin' dated I'm a hypocrite 'cause, yeah, the game, I play it Yeah, I play it [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] And when your feet are tapping, Give your body somewhat of a break 'Cause you're the only one you need to impress [Chorus] 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 fuckin' dated I'm a hypocrite 'cause, yeah, the game, I play it Yeah, yeah, yeah, I play it
