The game of life

[mobi]

It seems as though I've mastered
The art of heartbreak and pain
Every time my heart has healed
The situation is the same

Must my future be revealed
As my past is relived
And as each day passes by
I have less and less to give

My trust repeatedly broken
My love misused at will
Although it seems
My luck's against me
Compassion I still yield

It seems there's not much left
Of the heart I sadly possess
I'd still gladly surrender to you
All the fragile pieces left

For it's chances like that,
That have cursed me
You'd think I could only
Handle so much
But I'll keep taking that chance
Till there's nothing left

Until someone can mend my love
Only then will I be happy
What good will be in giving up today
Because to truly experience love
You must first endure much pain

The game of life is most devilish
Wouldn't you rather dance than sit?
Then you've wished
For all that heartbreak
When you said you wouldn't quit

Very few are strong enough
To be in dead last place
But refuse to quit,
No matter the pain
Until they win their race

Most don't wanna work for it
They "settle"
For what they can explain
They hate not knowing
What's to happen
So they happily withdraw
From the game

But those few who keep on giving
Mind not how much
They have to give
Are the ones who keep
Shedding tears
The ones determined to win

Points with me are scarce right now
Although it is victory I seek
But remember,
Winning isn't everything
'Cause I'm also playin' for keeps
