Game They Call Love
Brother Firetribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I drive through the night
Radio's on
Blasting out my favorite song
Rolling down the highway
And I watch the lights go by
So now I'm on my own
I never had a problem
To get used to being alone
I was born with headstrong and
That's why I was on the road
When you walked out on me
A part of me died
Now I'm trying to clear my head
Behind this traffic wheel
It's hard to understand
How can I keep it together
Finally buried alive
I'm losing this game they call love
I'm always one step behind
I'm losing this game they call love
I'm losing this game they call love
Sun's coming up
I pull outside this roadside bar
Smoke the night's last cigarette
And watch the new sun rise
I think about the days gone by
And try to read between the lines
I never knew what strings to pull
And now I've paid the price
So hard to understand
How can I keep it together
Finally buried alive
I'm losing this game they call love
I'm always one step behind
I'm losing this game they call love
And now I find myself
Just wandering aimlessly
It's hard to understand
How losing you can hurt so bad
You made my heart turn into stone
How could I have been so blind
This is how I made my bed
I swear to God
I lie in it
And I'm finally buried alive
I'm losing this game they call love
I'm always one step behind
I'm losing this game they call love
I'm losing this game they call love

Boots on the breeze
I am driving with the windows down and feeling free
As I drive through the night
I am traveling through the darkness of the night
Radio's on
I am listening to music on the radio
Blasting out my favorite song
I am playing my favorite song at a loud volume
Rolling down the highway
I am driving fast down the open road
And I watch the lights go by
I am observing the different lights from other cars and buildings
So now I'm on my own
I am alone and independent now
And now I'm on the run
I am trying to escape my old life and move forward
I never had a problem
I was always good with being by myself
To get used to being alone
I grew comfortable with solitude
I was born with headstrong and
I have always been determined and strong willed
That's why I was on the road
That's why I chose to travel and explore
When you walked out on me
When you left me behind
A part of me died
I felt a deep emotional pain and loss
Now I'm trying to clear my head
I am trying to make sense of what happened and move on
Behind this traffic wheel
Sitting behind the steering wheel during traffic
It's hard to understand
I am having a difficult time comprehending
How can I keep it together
How can I maintain composure
Finally buried alive
I am feeling suffocated and overwhelmed
I'm losing this game they call love
I am experiencing the pain and defeat of a failed relationship
I'm always one step behind
I can't seem to catch up or keep up
Sun's coming up
It is now morning and the sun is rising
I pull outside this roadside bar
I am stopping at a bar on the side of the road
Smoke the night's last cigarette
I am smoking a cigarette as I reflect on the night
And watch the new sun rise
I am witnessing a new beginning with the sunrise
I think about the days gone by
I am reminiscing about the past
And try to read between the lines
I am trying to understand the deeper meaning behind my past experiences
I never knew what strings to pull
I was never sure how to make things work
And now I've paid the price
Now I am experiencing the consequences
And now I find myself
I am realizing where I am now
Just wandering aimlessly
I am moving around without direction or purpose
How losing you can hurt so bad
I am experiencing immense pain from losing you
You made my heart turn into stone
You have hardened my heart
How could I have been so blind
I am regretting not seeing the truth before
This is how I made my bed
This is the result of my own decisions
I swear to God
I am making a promise
I lie in it
I must accept the consequences of my actions
