Game Set Match

the scars run so deep 
it even keeps me out of sleep 
perhaps it is all in my head 
but it is also keeping me out of bed 

all those secrets and stories 
laid out in their full glory 
has made me confused 
left me feeling very abused 

you should feel some shame 
for playing a stupid game 
i should be blamed 
for thinking you could be tamed 

so instead it has me amused 
a little beaten & bruised 
you may have won this war 
but i promise it wont happen any more 

but you're welcome to try 
even if it is all a lie 
to get me back on your side 
so there's no place left to hide 

for we all start as strangers 
encountering many a danger 
the truth does not always set you free 
or even bring you back to me 

so we dance the time old dance 
taking every little chance 
breaking down walls 
answering natures little calls 

and then it's all de je vous 
the story of me and u.......... 
all wrapped up in cliches 
for yet another day..............
