Lyrics
(Chorus)
Playing Games
You and I are only playing games
But the board is burning and the playing pieces turning into flames
Soon only the ashes will remain
You and I are only playing games
(Verse 1)
Place your bet
The stakes are high and now the stage is set
We're taking a gamble now that we both might regret
So come on now and place your bet
Deal a card
Two hearts that were in love have now grown hard
We wear our poker faces and we never drop our guard
So come on now and deal a card
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Spin the wheel
I wonder if our love was ever real
I am hoping someday we will change the way we feel
So come on now and spin the wheel
Roll the dice
These chances we are taking are not nice
We're throwing our emotions on a table cold as ice
So come on now and roll the dice
(Repeat Chorus)
