[Verse 1] I logged my hours, yeah Thumbs on fire, eyes on red Saved the world ten times over Then I went and called you instead Beat the boss on hard mode Learned the moves, learned the pain But I still trip on real life Every time you say my name [Pre-Chorus] I know the difference now I know what game I’m in Some things are for the screen Some things cut way deeper than skin [Chorus] I’ve played a lot of video games Doesn’t mean I should play a lot of people I’ve played a lot of video games I don’t wanna turn your heart into sequel No more tricks, no more games I want real love, simple and clean I’ve played a lot of video games But you’re not something I should beat [Verse 2] Controller down on the couch Old matches still on pause I used to chase the scoreboard Like that could fix my flaws I can read the menus fine But I miss the human code You don’t need a cheat sheet, baby You just need me to hold [Pre-Chorus] I know the difference now I know what matters when One touch can say more Than a hundred wins [Chorus] I’ve played a lot of video games Doesn’t mean I should play a lot of people I’ve played a lot of video games I don’t wanna turn your heart into sequel No more tricks, no more games I want real love, simple and clean I’ve played a lot of video games But you’re not something I should beat [Bridge] If I ever made you feel Like you were just a stage I’ll put the mask down I’ll throw the script away I don’t want the high score I want your honest hand If I say I care now Baby, understand [Chorus] I’ve played a lot of video games Doesn’t mean I should play a lot of people I’ve played a lot of video games I don’t wanna turn your heart into sequel No more tricks, no more games I want real love, simple and clean I’ve played a lot of video games But you’re not something I should beat
