The Game Songtext
von Dive Dive

Take my hand
You know it′s been a real long time
Fake my smile
Put a rotten apple off my eye
You say so, so well
You know the pleasure's been all mine
Shake my hand
Before I have to speak my mind

Let me out of the room
Before I have to use
Every reason that I had to stand this sorry excuse
Yeah, but what can you do?

Say it was only a game
It was only a game
It was only a game
And I don′t wanna play


Was it only a game?
Was only a game
Was only a game
And I don't wanna play
Was it only a game?
Was it only a game?
Was it only a game of pretend?
And I don't have the credit to play

Why is it always the same?

So you′ve made your brand
And now you think you′re real big time
Save your pride
For the mirror and the vacant eyes
I feel so unwell
My confidence is undermined
Shake my hand
And tell me that this is goodbye

But what can you do?

Say it was only a game
It was only a game
It was only a game
And I don't wanna play


It was only a game
It was only a game
It was only a game
And I don′t wanna play
Was it only a game?
Was it only a game?
Was it only a game of pretend?

And I don't have the credit
I don′t wanna play
And I don't want a medal
I don′t wanna stay
And I don't want a part of it

Take my hand
You know it's been a real long time
Fake my smile
Put a rotten apple off my eye
You say so, so well
You know the pleasure′s been all mine
Shake my hand
Before I have to speak my mind

Say it was only a game
It was only a game
It was only a game
And I don′t wanna play
Was it only a game?
Was it only a game?
Was it only a game?
And I don't wanna play
Was it only a game?
Was it only a game?

It was only a game of pretend
And I don′t have the credit
I don't wanna play

Yeah, I don′t want a medal
I don't wanna stay

If I′m still feeling this painful charade
Why is it always the same?
