Game Changer

Done with this game of emotional roulette 
Been spinning this wheel quite long enough
It's time for some strategy in this old hat routine
And your cold heart needs a bit of tough love

Go on, browse my silent moves all you want
I'll take your guilty conscience for a little spin
This heart's been hurt once too many times
But it's a sure bet I won't be giving in

The result may be an outcome unexpected 
With tables turned, I'll be calling the shots
In dignifying my self-worth and self-respect 
Perhaps you'll be speechless, even shocked

A loving transformation is about to birth
And this cry baby ain't shedding no tears no more!
Through the pain, she has gained perspective
And her outlook will soon be restored

Hello Tammy ... the tangled web we weave takes some time to untangle and when done is hopefully a game changer - thanks Tammy - Lindsay
