How can you say
That you'll never love again
And the scars are so deep
That they'll never really mend
Can't you see,
Love is sometimes a game that lets you down
Leaving you hurt inside but there's still the next time 
around

How can you see
When your eyes are still filled with tears
And the pain in your heart
Feels like it could last for years
Oh I know,
Love is sometimes a game that makes you cry
Leaving you standing all alone and wondering why

But it's only a game,
A game we all play sometimes
Yes it's only a game,
And games can be so unkind
Only a game,
Sometimes it's confusing
Only a game,
But it hurts when you're losing

One day you'll find
The pain doesn't hurt at all
You can face each new day,
You're no longer scared to fall
And you'll see
Love is sometimes a game that takes you high
Taking away the pain of all the tears you cry

But it's only a game,
A game we all play sometimes
Yes it's only a game,
And games can be so unkind
Only a game,
A game played by wise men and fools
Yes it's only a game
And nobody knows the rules

Oh oh ooh oo, only a game
Oh oh ooh oo, only a game
Oh oh ooh oo, only a game
Oh oh ooh oo, only a game
