The Game
Smokey Joe and The Kid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can play a game if you want to
Maybe get high it's past 2
At midnight sky was still blue
So now im thinking about you
We can play a game if you want to
Maybe get high it's past 2
At midnight sky was still blue
So now im thinking about you
So now im stuck in my head again
Thinking about what i really should say
I don't know where we really went
But now im stuck
Im really trying to do
All the things that i would
Im sorry that im gone
But im just too much for you
And all the arguments
Damn im in my head again
I don't know how but i said sorry for it
Never is enough
Yeah im giving up
All the hope i lost
Got me so f***** up
Yeah im giving up
All the hope i lost
Got me so f*cked up
Imma stop now cause
Yeah i really lost all the hope
Just sitting here all alone
I know I know you did your all
But i just couldn't anymore
We can play a game if you want to
Maybe get high it's past 2
At midnight sky was still blue
So now im thinking about you
We can play a game if you want to
Maybe get high it's past 2
At midnight sky was still blue
So now im thinking about you
Sometimes i feel the memories fade away
Even the ones that both of us made
Sh*t im in a storm of thoughts
I knew i would f*ck it up
For myself again
I feel like i really tried
I feel like it will hurt in the end




I don't know why I still try
But i would lie if i said i regret
