Playing the Game

Words and Music by Brian Griffin (6-7-05)

Here I sit at the bar

I'm playing the game again

Trying to start up conversations

I'm playing the game again

Trying to sound like I'm sure of myself

I'm playing the game again

Want to end my loneliness and frustration

I'm playing the game again

I'm playing the game again

I'm playing the game again

Looking for all the right lines

I'm playing the game again

Maybe things will work out tonight

I'm playing the game again

Find some fellowship in your eyes

I'm playing the game again

Trying once again to feel right

I'm playing the game again

I'm playing the game again

I'm playing the game again

Thought I was done playing this game

But here I am back here again

Thought love would forever stay

But she grabbed my heart and then ran away

So Now

I'm putting the drink to my lips

I'm playing the game again

Can't do anything else but try to forget

I'm playing the game again

Forget the perfect world that I once had

I'm playing the game again

Can't feel anything but sad

I'm playing the game again

I'm playing the game again

I'm playing the game again

(repeat bridge and last verse)

I'm playing the game again

I'm playing the game again

I'm sick of these games again
