Verse 1:
I’ve been trying so hard to act as if I don’t want you
I’ve been trying so hard to act as if I don’t care
But the truth is that it’s eating me inside not to tell you
That I really want to see you again
Pre-Chorus:
Why do we have to play this game?
Why can’t we just speak our minds?
Tell me that you want me, stop holding back those feelings
Are you afraid to fall in love and make some drastic changes in your life?
Chorus:
Look, everyone’s entangled somehow
Whether it’s your ex or someone else around
Just about everyone out there’s got someone to fall back on
So why don’t we stop the game and just say what’s been going on?
Enough with the ego, let’s be humble, let it show
I’ll be on my way if you’ll just let me know
Stop the madness, stop the fear
We don’t have to hide what’s clear
Verse 2:
Maybe you’re afraid your friends might say you can't make up your mind
Trying to portray yourself as someone who’s always fine
But deep down, I can see that you're just like me
Caught in this battle, stuck between what’s real and what we should be
Pre-Chorus:
Why do we have to play this game?
Why can’t we just speak our minds?
Tell me that you want me, stop holding back those feelings
Are you afraid to fall in love and make some drastic changes in your life?
Chorus:
Look, everyone’s entangled somehow
Whether it’s your ex or someone else around
Just about everyone out there’s got someone to fall back on
So why don’t we stop the game and just say what’s been going on?
Enough with the ego, let’s be humble, let it show
I’ll be on my way if you’ll just let me know
Stop the madness, stop the fear
We don’t have to hide what’s clear
Bridge:
Sometimes our egos get in the way
We can’t speak the truth, we’re afraid to say
But deep down we both know it’s real
Let’s break down these walls and feel
Stop pretending that we’re fine
Let’s stop this madness, make you mine
Chorus:
Look, everyone’s entangled somehow
Whether it’s your ex or someone else around
Just about everyone out there’s got someone to fall back on
So why don’t we stop the game and just say what’s been going on?
Enough with the ego, let’s be humble, let it show
I’ll be on my way if you’ll just let me know
Stop the madness, stop the fear
We don’t have to hide what’s clear
Outro:
Stop the madness, stop the fear
Let me in, and make it clear
Enough with the games, enough with the pride
Let’s just let our hearts collide.
