Analysis of A game: Love
I wanted to wake up
I couldn't let you leave
I never imagined my heart,
Shattering like glass
On my birthday eve
They used to tell stories,
I regret not believing now,
Love's a game afterall
i realised, oh wow!
You stabbed me right
Where i told you it'd bleed
You said i'd be happy without you
When you were my only need
Was it supposed to end like this?
The late night calls,
The forehead kiss
For once i beg god,
To return you back to me
But, maybe
It's not too late
For i was just an anchor,
Drowning in your sea.
