“Playing Our Game of Love.”

(Speaking into a cell phone)
What? What did I say?
What? What did I do?
Hello? Hello?
God knows I try!
What?
What did you say? What did you do?
I’m done; we’re through!
(hang up abruptly)

Refrain:
Our life’s lived in circles
We both share the blame
Our pain shared with others
Just to simply get through
We both blame each other
(pause)
Oh, the darkness; the pain
(pause)
Walking around on empty
Carrying on without joy
Looking for some understanding
Waiting around on empty
Carrying on without love
Looking beyond our frustration

Main:
Our paths crossed each other’s
Nothing’s truly by utter chance
Our hope rose and fell
Playing our game of love
Living within our own hell

Our desire’s burned up brightly
Star crossed by God’s will
Our prayers had been answered
Playing our game of love
Living within our own hell

Our actions often define us
God does use us all
We’ll both keep on searching
Playing our game of love
Living within our own hell

Our gift’s shall remain behind
Everything happens for a reason
Our hopes rose and fell
Playing our game of love
Living within our own hell
