The Game

This is where it all began

We started to play the old game again

When the cards came out I knew

You were trying to hide who you were

But you didn't fool anyone

Anyone

When the lights began to flow

I knew I had to play the same old role

Couldn't bear to see you trying

Pretending you had no doubts

But you were lying to everyone

Everyone

It was your smile the one who taught me how to kneel

- The brand new wonder

'Twas like you always knew precisely how I'd feel

You didn't ponder

My thoughts you seemed to hear

Embarrassed, I

Began to fear you

Even if it was hardly fair

I played my old maneuver in a state of despair

The cards were all different kinds

But the art of bluffing's distorting our minds

So everyone thought I was the one

But I was not

It was your smile the one who taught me how to kneel

- The brand new wonder

'Twas like you always knew precisely how I'd feel

You didn't ponder

It was your smile the one who taught me how to kneel

- The brand new wonder

'Twas like you always knew precisely how I'd feel

You didn't ponder
