I am convinced

that what you tell me isn't true

you say what I want to hear

that's fine--I play this game too


I think it scares me more

to believe what you say

because then I'll know I'm not

just a game you play


Most people would give

so much for something real

and I wonder why

something fleeting is my appeal


I thought with you

everything was distraction

no worry of commitment

nothing put in action


you play like me

careless and I see


I follow you

I look for nothing true


I thought we'd agree

there's no "you and me"


I thought you'd soon part

from my unbreakable heart


I hate to understand

that your words are not a lie

telling me these things

only make me ask "why?"


I cannot discern

what you hope to gain

if you're sure your candor

won't bring you pain


I'm sorry to say

I thought you were like me

but I think I'm somewhat more

extreme than you may be


I regret to inform you

I don't feel the same

you've been careless with others

And I won this game
