Life Is a Game
Dr. Nick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been feeling down
Oh, I've got nowhere to go
Anxiety is slowing creeping in
No one's around
Although it's not a crushing blow
I think that it could slowly do me in
A little too much isolation
Gotย  to get back in circulation
I want to do something good for you
Ooh, I don't mind when life is hard
I just don't want to be alone
Ooh, now I'm worried bout my heart
I don't want to call this life my own
Cause it's not my own, oh no
I don't want to call this life my own
I'll just relax
Ooh, take off some of the pressure
Work is not the measure of a man
Let me do some meditation
I can skip the medication
Tell me who am I performing for? ย 
Ooh, I don't mind when life is hard
I just don't want to be alone
Ooh, and now I'm worried 'bout my heart
I don't want to call this life my own
Cause it's not my own, oh no
I don't want to call this life my own
I've been feeling down
Oh, I've got nowhere to go
Anxiety is slowing creeping in
No one's around
Although it's not a crushing blow
I think that it could slowly do me in
Ooh I don't mind when life is hard
I just don't want to be alone
Ooh now I'm worried bout my heart
I don't want to call this life my own
Cause it's not my own, oh no
I don't want to call this life my own
Ooh I don't mind when life is hard
I just don't want to be alone
Ooh now I'm worried bout my heart
I don't want to call this life my own




Cause it's not my own, oh no
I don't want to call this life my own
