The Leaving Game Lyrics

We always used to play the leaving game
We had to have our freedom now and then
Just a need to be with someone new
To run away and run right back again
How many times we played the leaving game
Trading off tomorrow for today
We never stopped to see the danger signs
We always smiled and looked the other way
Now I see it clearly,
What were we thinking of?
To think that we could play at love
When your heart gets restless,
You can't ignore the rules
Don't you know the leaving game
Is just a game for fools?

I never thought that love would pass us by
But it seems we took the game too far
You found someone new along the way
Baby, I just never thought you would
I guess we played the leaving game too good
