Losing without playing the game
I’ve been finding pieces of you
in every corner of my mind
And carefully assembling the puzzle
that you’ve become to me
If nobody knows you like I do
why are you still searching?
If I can read your thoughts
why can’t you hear mine?
CHORUS:
My lips will never spill the words
that my heart is screaming
I’d rather hide behind my cards
and bluff until you believe me
If you were unhappy
it would be the death of me
But watching you walk away
is like losing without playing the game
I tried to resist you
but it was a brief battle
Even a heart on a leash
cannot be controlled
My smile is a masquerade
and you believe the production
I am a master of façade
deceiving you with fabrication
CHORUS
I won’t show my silent agony
Your sympathy runs too deep
I may be called a martyr
but it’s not without a cause
I’d rather fold and see you smile
than win and see you torn
But watching you walk away
is like losing without playing the game
