lyrics

All in the Game

I wrote you a letter, but I didn’t sign my name
I hope that you’re better, I’m feeling just the same
I still think about those crazy days
When you blew my heart away
It doesn’t matter, it’s all in the game

I wanted to tell you that I’ve put it in the past
That rare kind of pleasure, I knew it wasn’t going to last
And though the sun shone bright that day
In the end it had to slip away
So I farewell you, it’s all in the game

It’s all in the game
You take a chance, you cop the pain
The stars are to blame
When circumstance don’t go your way

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to mess you round
Call it my folly, I let all my defences down
And you know sometimes I feel ashamed
For those emotions that I couldn’t tame
But don’t worry, it’s all in the game

It’s all in the game
You make your move, you stake your claim
But it’s always the same
You stand to lose more than you gain

I wrote you a letter, I hope that you read it slow
You just might remember this stranger that you used to know
He’ll never pass your way again
But his heart will always keep the flame
Now and forever, it’s all in the game

It’s all in the game
You make your move, you stake your claim
But it’s always the same
You stand to lose more than you gain
