The Game

We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
The love we gave along the way
Through fleeting days and all that greys
It’s times like these as true love stays
I always knew through thick and thin
It’s here that I’d begin again
I’m standing here
At your door
With all my defenses down
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
The big picture we now engage
Our scenes here set on the stage terrestrial
Reversing the flow
Here to grow
We’re all rehearsing, you know
Come the final fade out
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
Through Fleeting days and all that greys
It’s times like these as true love stays
I always knew through thick and thin
It’s here that I’d begin again
I’m standing here
At your door
With all my defenses down
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
