(Johanna Demker)



You came around one night a shooting star out of the blue

I'm trying to remember what it was about you

But somehow you caught my eye

We had fun for a while

Then something somewhere failed 

We started to pretend 



The games you play to make me stay

Just where you want me to be

The games I play, the things I say

To make you think that you succeed

We´re still in this foolish game 

No one wants to be the one to blame 

For lost desire 

We want to be admired 

So we play with fire

Before it goes out 





You may not think I know you well enough to notice

But everytime you change your voice or leave out words I know this 

I try to play along though I know something is wrong 

Scared to offend

We start to pretend



The games you play to make me stay

Just where you want me to be

The games I play the things I say

To make you think that you succeed

We´re still in this foolish game 

No one wants to be the one to blame 

For lost desire 

We want to be admired 

So we play with fire

Before it goes out



Come lay your cards on the table 

I'm not fooled by the laws of romance 

Say what you feel and we might be able 

To stand a chance 

It's our only chance
