a game where you're king

somehow i ignore your faults
i watch you take my wounds
and some rub salt
maybe i'm in love with pain
when i'm with you
love and hate it's all the same

i let you have my fire
you took it with a smile
hurt me again
i feel no shame
when you use me
in your game

you say "i love you"
then promise i'm just a fling
that's all this really is
a game where your king
and all your rules
destroy everything

i sometimes catch you in the act
of playing me
and that's a fact
i really wish you'd just come clean
you made me fall
then crushed my dream
i knew it was a mistake
i knew what i was to you
a toy you saw and chose to take
well baby thats not why i was made
i was never meant to be played
at least not in this way

please tell me
why would i believe a word you say
you tell me i'm the one for you
how could i fall for the game you play
maybe i'm just waiting for you to be the one who says we're through
