Lyrics

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.

Cause every flower that feeds in the garden

And every train that comes in departs its

Just a part of life

Just a fact of life

I smile at you, you don't smile at me

And we pretend it's fine like we used to be

Like we used to be now

Love goes up

And love goes down

Round and round it can never be found

I still love you

I pretend to love you

Love goes up

And love goes down

Round and round it can never be found

I still love you

And I wish I could love you

You always, always, always

Got to be your way your way your way

But I'm tired of all the games you play

And all those crazy little things you say

But I stay with you anyway

'Cause I know your heart used to care

I got my hand around the neck of yesterday

Chokin' on the past but my love remains

I do

You don't

I will

You won't

You quit

I hope

My dreams they won't

Go up in smoke

Love goes up

And love goes down

Round and round it can never be found

I still love you

I pretend to love you

Love goes up

And love goes down

Round and round it can never be found

I still love you

And I wish I could love you

Every time I leave my heart yearns for you

And I can't stop

Got me thinking about the way that we used to be

My memories a shadow that plays tricks with me

And she beckons with her finger but she's teasing me

When I reach out to grab her then she flees from me

I will

You won't

I'm tired and broke

My heart don't know

My hope still grows

But lady I don't know

Love goes up

And love goes down

Round and round it can never be found

I still love you

I pretend to love you

Love goes up

And love goes down

Round and round it can never be found

I still love you

I pretend to love you

Love goes up

And love goes down

Round and round it can never be found

I still love you

I pretend to love you (oh, yeah)

Love goes up

And love goes down

Round and round it can never be found

I still love you (oh I love you)

I wish I could love you (oh I love you)

Love goes up

And love goes down
