Not a Game Songtext
von Mizfitted

I′m struggling to breathe
Afraid they all are staring at me
Even with my lips tightly sealed
I'm scared my secret might be revealed
But this is not a game
Don′t wanna play with hidden shame
I know I'm into boys
But I'm really scared it shows

Can they tell when I′m walking down the hall?
Do they see it when I′m with them at the mall?
Do they notice when I look a second too long
At the cute boy standing all alone?
Do they feel it when he's looking back at me?
Do they see what I′m really scared to be?
The truth inside is nearly killing me


It's getting harder to breathe
The walls are closing in on me
Still frightened they might see who I am
If they did, would we still be friends?
But this is not a game
Don′t wanna play with hidden shame
I know I'm into boys
I′m just really scared it shows

Can they tell when I'm walking down the hall?
Do they see it when I'm with them at the mall?
Do they notice when I look a second too long
At the cute boy standing all alone?
Do they feel it when he′s looking back at me?
Do they see what I′m really scared to be?
The truth inside is nearly killing me

It's getting easier to breathe
The walls are cracking ′round me
I don't wanna choose between who I am
And who I′m supposed to be
I don't need to run anymore
I don′t need to look away
What I feel is finally louder
Than the fear that ruled my days


Now they know me when I'm walking down the hall
Now they know me when I'm with them at the mall
Now they cheer me when I look a second too long
At the cute boy standing all alone
Now they know me when I′m walking down the hall
Now they know me when I′m with them at the mall
Now they cheer me when I look a second too long
At the cute boy standing all alone

Now they see me as I am
Not a secret, not a scam
What I didn't let them see
Is the better part of me
I can finally breathe
They can finally see
What I was scared to be
Was always me...
