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?
