Game of Pricks (Single Version)
Game of Pricks (Single Version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've waited too long to have you hide in the back of me
I've cheated so long, I wonder how you keep track of me
[Chorus 1]
You could never be strong, you can only be free
And I'll never ask for the truth, but you owe that to me
[Verse 2]
I've entered the game of pricks with knives in the back of me
Can't call you or on you no more when you're attacking me
[Chorus 2]
I'll climb up on the house, weep to water the trees
And when you come calling me down, I'll put on my disease
[Break]
[Chorus 1]
You could never be strong, you could only be free
And I never asked for the truth, but you owe that to me
No, I'll never ask for the truth, but you owe that to me
But I never asked for the truth, but you owe that to me
I've waited too long to have you hide in the back of me
I've cheated so long, I wonder how you keep track of me
[Chorus 1]
You could never be strong, you can only be free
And I'll never ask for the truth, but you owe that to me
[Verse 2]
I've entered the game of pricks with knives in the back of me
Can't call you or on you no more when you're attacking me
[Chorus 2]
I'll climb up on the house, weep to water the trees
And when you come calling me down, I'll put on my disease
[Break]
[Chorus 1]
You could never be strong, you could only be free
And I never asked for the truth, but you owe that to me
No, I'll never ask for the truth, but you owe that to me
But I never asked for the truth, but you owe that to me
