[Verse 1] You stack your chips so neat Smile like you own the room Tell me how the table leans Like I was built to lose You talk in promises Wrapped up in velvet lies But I can read that look Right between your eyes [Pre-Chorus] I know that game too well I watched you move the pieces Now the floor is turning And the old trick weakens [Chorus] It may be your game But I play by my rules It may be your game I don't bend for you Call it what you want I won't play that part It may be your game But I choose my cards [Verse 2] You count on me to fold When the pressure starts to rise But I was made from fire You only made the spark fly I see the grin, the trap The careful little bait You want me in your frame I won't stay in place [Pre-Chorus] I know that game too well I heard it in your chorus Now the walls are shaking And the truth comes forward [Chorus] It may be your game But I play by my rules It may be your game I don't bend for you Call it what you want I won't play that part It may be your game But I choose my cards [Bridge] You can move the crowd You can hold the line I can walk away And still land on time You want control I want the wind Watch me leave the board And start again [Final Chorus] It may be your game But I play by my rules It may be your game I don't bend for you Call it what you want I won't play that part It may be your game But I choose my cards It may be your game But I play by my rules You set the stage, I burned the script You built the cage, the hinges slipped The velvet burns, the table turns And now the house is what I earn No phantom strings, no hollow prize I read the ledger in your eyes The dealer weeps, the shadow sweeps I kept the soul you couldn't keep Yeah, I choose my cards And I just folded yours
