Dangerous Game
I’ll let you go first
I’ll go last
It’s such a dangerous game we play
I won’t lie and say I’m not afraid
I watch you spin it round and round
I watch you pull the trigger and hit the ground
Such bad luck for you
I guess I should say a prayer for you
Such a harsh lesson to learn
When you play with fire you get burned
I’ll cry for you someday
But I won, luck has gone my way
I won’t celebrate for winning this game
I promise my ego, I will hide away
I’ll remember how you were so brave
The right thing to do is mourn for you
These are the chances we take
When we play these games
Such messy games, so sad such a shame
Farewell
