dangerous game that we play

Verse 1

Your phone is face down on the table

you smile but your eyes drift away

I keep reading the labels

of everything you never say

when you pull me close in the quiet

are you holding a ghost in your mind

my heart is starting a riot

from the secrets you leave behind

Pre-Chorus

I'm standing right on the edge of the fire

reaching for something already cold

caught in the middle of fear and desire

watching a tragic story unfold

Chorus

Love burns love breaks

it takes everything till there's nothing to lose

Love aches love shakes

left in the dark with the scars that you choose

You say that you care but you're turning away

it's a dangerous game that we play

Verse 2

I hear you whisper in your sleep

a name that doesn't sound like mine

the promises you used to keep

are fading out one line at a time

are you just playing a part now

is this a habit you clone

I'm trapped in the dark of your heart now

and I have never felt so alone

Chorus

Love burns love breaks

it takes everything till there's nothing to lose

Love aches love shakes

left in the dark with the scars that you choose

You say that you care but you're turning away

it's a dangerous game that we play

Bridge

I'm tired of guessing tired of clues

sick of the silence and singing the blues

Just look in my eyes and tell me the truth

is there any love left in you

or are we just ashes fading to grey

tell me right now do I go or do I stay

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus

Love burns love breaks

it takes everything till there's nothing to lose

Love aches love shakes

left in the dark with the scars that you choose

You say that you care but you're turning away

yeah it's a dangerous game that we play

Outro

A dangerous game

face down on the table

your eyes look away

love burns

then it fades to grey
