So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self penned
Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and prideToo late to say I love you, too late to re stage the play
Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterdayI'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts
I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts
Too much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play, the game is over
The, the game is overSo here I am once more in the playground of the broken heart
I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts, the game is over
Over, over, over, over, over, over, overYet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride
I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts, the game is overToo late to say I love you, too late to re stage the play
The game is overI act the role in classic style of a martyr carved with twisted smile
To bleed the lyric for this song to write the rites to right my wrongs
An epitaph to a broken dream to exercise this silent scream
A scream that's borne from sorrowI never did write that love song, the words just never seemed to flow
Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfection
Examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
Examine the shadows on the other side of mourning
Promised wedding now a wake
Promised wedding now a wake
Now a wake now a wake now a wakeThe fool escaped from paradise will look ver his shoulder and cry
Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why?
As you grow up and leave the playground
Where you kissed your prince and found your frog
Remember the jester that showed you tears, the script for tearsSo I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
Has gone solo in the game, I've gone solo in the game
But the game is overCan you still say you love me
Can you still say you love me
Can you still say you love me
You love me you love me you love me
You love me you love me can you still
Can you still say you love me
Can you still say you love me
Can you still say you love me
Can you still
Can you still
