This Game Is Rigged
Trying forceful optimism
Failing to forget
It's like some form of masochism
I need to let it...
I'm tired of this repetition
It's gone on far too long
Let's just complete this demolition
Listen to me, one time only
I need to let it come undone
I hope you know you're the only one
Who can make me feel so insecure
I'm sure
You do, somewhere inside
Oh God, I think this game is rigged
Trapped in all this cynicism
I need to let you know
That all the time you thought I didn't
Care you couldn't be more wrong
Neverending repetition
This record just keeps playing on
Slow and secret demolition
Why can't I just shout out to you?
I need to let it come undone
I hope you know you're the only one
Who can make me feel so insecure
I'm sure
You do, somewhere inside
Oh God, I think this game is rigged.
