The Game Lyrics

This is where it all began:
We started to play the old game again,
When the cards came out I knew
You were trying to hide who you were
But you didn't fool anyone,
Anyone...
When the lights began to flow
I knew I had to play the same old role.
Couldn't bear to see you trying,
Pretending you had no doubts
But you were lying to everyone,
Everyone...
It was your smile the one who taught me how to kneel
- The brand new wonder -
'T was like you always knew precisely how I'd feel,
You didn't ponder,
My thoughts you seemed to hear,
Embarrassed, I
Began to fear you.

Even if it was hardly fair
I played my old maneuver in a state of despair.
The cards were all different kinds
But the art of bluffing's distorting our minds,
So everyone thought I was the one,
But I was not...
