The game

 

Life has given me such hard blows

How I've survived each one, God knows

At times I don't care if I die

The pain inside me builds so high

There've been times I thought my heart might

Burst completely apart in flight

I've lived my life in loneliness

Trying to replace it with less

I have no idea where to turn

It seems as though by now I'd learn

But things are still so much the same

I've grown no wiser to the game

I want so much to be loved true

My heart opens up to its due

Each time it's been taken from me

Then shoved down my throat so cruelly

There's got to be a way to change

This pattern must be rearranged
