Clean Slate

To live right now is a must
Why didn't you trust
Your instincts I don't understand
Maybe you did what you had in mind but
To lie to me is an insult you see
Well forgiveness is key
No I can't let this be but
You should have thought of this
Consequence of kiss after kiss
Lead this night to more
Part of a plan to get to me to get to him
What now, what do I do
I don't know should I stay with you
Once again another day
Is wasted by the stupid games we PLAY
Out of luck- I'm feeling hopeless ENOUGH
I don't know- if this stress keeps adding up
I just wish that you could see
That your games are killing apart of ME
I don't think you make decisions that's BEST
Now I see you're like the rest
Everything we've had... You've thrown away
All things you've done...The games you play
Now you see your wrong... but it's too late
Strong with out your love
Don't Miss The Pain
Alright- OK
Explain to me
One more time please I just don't see
I don't understand how'd he make you feel guilty and
I don't understand why'd you tell me about this after the fact that I
Want to try to make this whole thing go off
All's lost
Hope and respect, and the
Wait stop talking
Faith is gone
Listen to what I'm saying
Is this so wrong
Everything we've had... You've thrown away
All things you've done...The games you play
Now you see your wrong... but it's too late
Strong with out your love
Don't Miss The Pain
Forgiveness isn't the key
Fuck that forgiveness isn't the key (x8)
Don't Miss The
WHY do we play
WHY do we play Games
