Lyrics
?Only a game? - Copyright 2002 Words and Music by Tony Hanley
[ 3 mins:25 secs ]
Verse 1;
Throw away the sad face ? your not fooling anybody but you
The leader in a rat race ? pay the fee it?s long overdue
Verse 1.1
Make believe you?re a winner ? take care what you want to reveal
Your face doesn?t say what your mind really thinks when there?s nothing to feel
Chorus;
Afraid of sympathy ? into self appreciation
No need for guarantees ? ?cause there?s no one to blame
You play with all you see - clever words for insulation
It?s nothing more to you - it?s only a game
Verse 2;
Heartfelt sentiments ? ? don?t bother, it?s a worn out disguise
Self-assured, innocent ? ? get real, I can see through your lies
Verse2.1;
Making plans for a loser ? time?s up leave a sign on your door
Short-time user - if you want here?s a number to call
