This Game of Love

Don't let me burn like this

Save me from the fire

I know the art of loneliness

I see straight down the wire

I see straight down the wire

See straight down the wire

Free my soul of emptiness

I know the taste of sorrow

Tonight I am delirious

I live to play tomorrow

Live to play tomorrow

Live to play tomorrow

I live to play tomorrow

I came in to this town

No comfort or peace of mind

Just as the rain came down

I swear I don't wanna lose this time

Gonna take my rightful place

In the sun high heaven above

Or there'll be hell to pay

Am I gonna lose this game of love?

Now I lay me down to rest

Cold ground up against my back

Time and again I failed a test

As painful as a heart attack

As painful as a heart attack

As painful as a heart attack

As painful as a heart attack

Don't make me burn like this

I know the art of loneliness

Free my soul of emptiness

Pull me from the fire

I stepped down off the train

Not looking to do no harm

Just book a room someplace

And hold devotion and warmth in between my arms

Devotion and warmth

Devotion and warmth

Devotion and warmth in between my arms

But the to and the fro

The wrath and the sloth

The back and the forth took my world apart

Lord I'll take my place

In the sun high heaven above

Or there'll be hell to pay

Am I gonna lose this game of love?

Am I gonna, gonna lose

Am I gonna lose this game of love?

Am I gonna lose

Am I gonna lose this game of love?

Am I gonna, gonna lose

Am I gonna lose this game of love?

Am I gonna lose

Am I gonna lose this game of love?
