The Game Is Over

Lyrics:

“The Game Is Over”

Had enough I’ve really had enough
Had enough of denial
I’m not alright but I’m not gonna lie I don’t know that I ever was

All alone I’ve waited, all alone
Held it in as I played by your rules I’ve been biting my lip but I’m losing my grip
I’m coming down down down

When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain
Behind our vain devices are we all the same

Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend

Take a breath and try to play along but I’m a terrible liar
I feel the world like a brick on my chest and the party’s just begun

Throw the rope I’m wading
Through the mud
From your mouth flow a thousand truths
But you know there’s only one

When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain

Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Sweet words they mean nothing they’re not true
cause the game is over

I want it all or I want nothing at all
maybe I can change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Your sweet words they mean nothing save your breath
The game is over

Blind Love

There aren’t many Bon Jovi songs I don’t know, but I happened upon this a few minutes ago while listening to my entire digital music catalog while I do some writing. I rarely do that; music can be distracting when I’m typing racing thoughts and ideas.

This one takes me back to certain songs of theirs which probably saved my life at times. I remember when I first starting listening to Bon Jovi and how the songs all seemed to speak to me and my life. There are a few I can no longer listen to for deeply personal reasons.

Are you a Bon Jovi fan? If so, what’s your favorite song?

Qué Hiciste

Spanish:

Ayer los dos soñábamos con un mundo perfecto
Ayer a nuestros labios les sobraban las palabras
Porque en los ojos nos espiábamos el alma
Y la verdad no vacilaba en tu mirada

Ayer nos prometimos conquistar el mundo entero
Ayer tú me juraste que este amor seria eterno
Por que una vez equivocarse es suficiente
Para aprender lo que es amar sinceramente

Qué Hiciste? Hoy destruiste con tu orgullo la esperanza
Hoy empañaste con tu furia mi mirada
Borraste toda nuestra historia con tu rabia
Y confundiste tanto amor que te entregaba
Como permiso para así romperme el alma

Qué Hiciste? Nos obligaste a destruir las madrugadas
Y nuestras noches las ahogaron tus palabras
Mis ilusiones acabaron con tus falsas
Se te olvido que era el amor lo que importaba
Y con tus manos derrumbaste nuestra casa

Mañana que amanezca un día nuevo en mi universo
Mañana no veré tu nombre escrito entre mis versos
No escuchare palabras de arrepentimiento
Ignorare sin pena tu remordimiento

English:

Yesterday we both dreamed of a perfect world
Yesterday our lips had no words
Because in the eyes we spied the soul
And the truth did not waver in your gaze

Yesterday we promised to conquer the whole world
Yesterday you swore to me that this love would be eternal
Because once being wrong is enough
To learn what it is to love sincerely

What did you do? Today you destroyed hope with your pride
Today you blurred my gaze with your fury
You erased our entire history with your rage
And you confused so much love that I gave you
As permission to break my soul

What did you do? You forced us to destroy the dawn
And our nights were drowned by your words
My illusions ended your false ones
You forgot that it was love that mattered
And with your hands you broke down our house

Tomorrow a new day dawns in my universe
Tomorrow I will not see your name written between my verses
I won’t hear words of regret
I will shamelessly ignore your remorse
