Lyrics
Playing The Game
I do the things I've always done
As if there's nothing wrong
I go to the same places
But I never stay so long
As I always used to
Because its not the same
All I'm really doing is
Playing the game
I do what must be done
To make it through the day
I dot the "I's" and cross the "T's|"
In the usual way
I'll face the here and now
In a crowd but on my own
The past hangs over me
The future - it has gone
Chorus
I hear the whisper of your voice
I feel you everywhere
I search in vain to find a trace
Though I know you won't be there
I only see you in my dreams
Soon as sleep overtakes
I try not to but I always wake
Verse
If you didn't know me
You never would think twice
I look and act just as I should
But deep inside I pay the price
I try to cover up the fact
That I'm just a hollow shell
Most of the time
I play the game so well
Chorus
I hear the whisper of your voice
I feel you everywhere
I search in vain to find a trace
Though I know you won't be there
I only see you in my dreams
Soon as sleep overtakes
I try not to but I always wake
