Love's a Game
Trippynova Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh maybe I think, maybe I don't
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Find my way this time
I hear you calling me soon

One of these days
Somebody stays and somebody pays
It happens all the time

I'll be leaving, believing you wanted me to

Maybe I'm a fool
For walking in line
Maybe I should try to lead this time
I'm an honest mistake that you make
Did you mean to?
Did you mean
Did you mean

Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie
Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true

And they collared you up
And collared you down
And coloured you in
And I've been waiting so long
To take you home

And maybe I think, maybe I don't
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Find my way tonight
But I hear you calling me soon

Maybe I'm a fool
For walking in line
Maybe I should try to lead this time
I'm an honest mistake that you make
Did you mean to?
Did you mean
Did you mean

Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie
Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true

Maybe I'm a fool
For walking in line
Maybe I should try to lead this time
I'm an honest mistake that you made
Did you mean to?
Did you mean
Did you mean

Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie

Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true

Oh maybe I think, maybe I don't
Confusion about a decision I have to make

Maybe I will, maybe I won't
The decision is a tough one

Find my way this time
Hopeful for success despite uncertainty

I hear you calling me soon
Someone is reaching out to me

One of these days
At some point in the future

Somebody stays and somebody pays
Someone gets hurt in relationships

It happens all the time
A common occurrence

I'll be leaving, believing you wanted me to
I feel like you want me to leave

Maybe I'm a fool
Admitting a lack of judgment

For walking in line
Being too obedient to others

Maybe I should try to lead this time
Suggesting a change in strategy
