Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She pretends she's just a girl
Every minute that she loved you
She pretends she still worn from the summer that we spent love
When I saw through it all
Your happy eyes
Your happy smile
Have you forgot how it felt like
We were one, two finally three
I't made me happy
One, two finally three
I't made me happy
Baby I know all about you
I have knon your every thought
So right now whos with you
Rember who showed you
Theres a mind game for us all
You seem to have forgotten
Your happy eyes
Your happy smile
How you tried to pretend like
Have you forgot how it felt like
We were one, two finally three
I't made me happy
One, two finally three
I't made me happy
I't made me happy
We were one, two finally three
I't made me happy
One, two finally three
I't made me happy
One, two finally three

One, two finally three
I't made me happy
Did I make you happy at times you seemed to be
Are you better of with out me
It is was all we excpeted when it came to this fall

The song "Mind Game" by Margaret Berger is a reflective piece about a past relationship that has ended. The lyrics seem to convey a sense of betrayal and heartbreak, as the singer talks about how her former partner pretended not to know her and acted like she was just a random girl. The singer also mentions how her former partner seems to have forgotten the love and happiness they once shared, indicating that she has moved on while the singer is still stuck in the past. The line "There's a mind game for us all" suggests that the betrayal and hurt is a common theme in relationships, and that everyone can fall victim to the deceit of a partner.
The repeated lines "We were one, two finally three / It made me happy" are a reference to the bond the singer and her former partner shared. They were once a happy couple, but things changed and they ended up going their separate ways. The singer seems to be struggling with the aftermath of the breakup, questioning whether she made her partner happy and whether things could have turned out differently if they had done things differently. Overall, "Mind Game" is a melancholic track that explores the difficult emotions that come with the end of a relationship.
