Losing games

Losing games
(12.29.23)

Losing games is all I’m good at lately
The “burnout”, right?
That’s what your friends said about me
Now all I can think about is how did I get here
when I was just some lovestruck guy
and you didn’t notice me?

You had me in love
You had me in tears
Now I’d do anything to see you here
And you cannot say that I never cared
'Cause somehow the wind reminds me of your hair
And maybe I said that you deserve more
But that was just me trying to even the score
Now I'd do anything, I'd do anything

Playing games is all you like doing, I see
The painting, right?
I just don't know how you did that to me
Now all I can envision is the day you left me hanging
You thought I would wait for you and I did too
But when I was standing in the rain I felt like I was floating

You had me in pain
You took me in vain
You made me insane with the love that you gave
While it was short lived and no longer true
Know that the sun reminds me of you
"You deserve better" but I take it back now
For I could give you everything you need and more
I'd do anything, I'll give you everything

I know I can complete you
You make me so down this way
And I know I'll never erase you
You will always live in my brain

You had me in Venice
You had me in Rome
Thank God you left, you were nearly my home
Your name's in my head when I use super glue
And when I take walks I think of you
I wish you'd defend me and just tell the truth
Instead of making me wait at your place like a fool
You know I'd do anything to love you again
If you think you'll find better, I understand
But I'd do anything
I'd give you anything
I'll give you everything
I'll do anything
