Learning The Game
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue
These go with learning the game
When you love her but she doesn't love you
You're only learning the game
When she says that
You're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that
You are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad 'cause you're always alone
That's when you're learning the game
Feeling so sad 'cause you're all alone and blue
You're only learning the game
When she says that
You're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that
You are not the one she's dreaming of
Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue
You're only learning the game
When you love her but she doesn't love you
That's when you're learning the game
When she says that
You're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that
You are not the one she's dreaming of
Feeling so sad 'cause you're all alone and blue
You're only learning the game
When you love her but she doesn't love you
That's when you're learning the game
