Little Games
The Colourist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were down, the times were rough
But was the light that you found
On the other side enough?
What did I do so wrong?
You lied and led me on
Was I your hit and run?
Left for dead and now you're gone
Oh we were comin' around
You threw me back down
You had my trust in your hands
You gave it up again
We were comin' around
So far from dealin' with all these little games
Holdin' in so much you could drown
When you knew that times were tough
But I've had enough with you down
With your hands facing up
What did I do so wrong?
You lied and led me on
Was I your hit and run?
Left for dead and now you're gone
Oh we were comin' around
You threw me back down
You had my trust in your hands
You gave it up again
We were comin' around
So far from dealin' with all these little games
With all these little games
I feel you far, too far away
Would you need to, need to stay
I'm feeling far away (So far from seeing)
Why would you even stay? (You're so deceiving)
I'm feeling far away (So far from seeing)
Why would you even stay?
Oh we were comin' around
You threw me back down
You had my trust in your hands
You gave it up again
We were comin' around
So far from dealin' with all these little games
Oh we were comin' around
You threw me back down
You had my trust in your hands
You gave it up again
We were comin' around
So far from dealin' with all these little games
With all these little games
The lyrics of The Colourist's song "Little Games" describe the aftermath of a romantic relationship that has ended badly due to the other person's manipulation and deception. The singer is questioning what they did wrong to deserve this treatment and feeling hurt by the lies and betrayal. They had trusted the other person and had been willing to work through tough times, but instead, they were thrown back down and left for dead.
The chorus repeats the phrase "we were comin' around," which implies that the relationship was starting to improve before the other person's actions ruined it again. The repeated use of the phrase "little games" throughout the song emphasizes the sense of childishness and immaturity in the actions of the other person.
The final verse acknowledges that the singer feels far away from the other person and questions why they would even want to stay. The overall tone of the song is one of hurt and betrayal, with a sense of frustration that the other person's actions have sabotaged what could have been a good thing.
