The smell of cigarettes and a starlit sky
The burning embers of our last goodbye
I told myself that we had more time
How was I to know you’d already changed your mind?

Do I love you?

Am I just lonelier than I can see?
Do you love me?

You played the power game
Only said yes when I said no
You never really felt the same
You won the game I never thought you’d play
But now’s the time I’m letting go
With the heavy heart you didn’t mean to break

Lost holding the broken parts of us
They cut like knives into my skin when I hold them up to the light
Now burning brighter deep inside
When I let go, I feel strong as I ignite

I used to love you
But now I see that we can never be
Did you ever love me?

You played the power game
Only said yes when I said no
You never really felt the same
You won the game I never thought you’d play
But now’s the time I’m letting go
With the heavy heart you didn’t mean to break

I am taking back the reins
I won’t let myself be burned out or ruled by hate
New life courses through my veins
I feel at home inside these flames

You played the power game
Only said yes when I said no
You never really felt the same
You won the game I never thought you’d play
But now’s the time I’m letting go
With the heavy heart you didn’t mean to break
I hope that you didn’t mean to play
