[Verse 1] You look at me like I’m a piece on your board Counting the steps until I fall You thought you bought what you couldn't afford Now you're backed up against the wall [Pre-Chorus] And you can play the queen all you want But the crown is starting to melt [Chorus] If this ain't a game Why are we keeping the score? If this ain't a game Why are you begging for more? All of your tricks, all of your lies Look at the panic behind your eyes If this ain't a game Tell me what we're fighting for [Verse 2] You draw the lines just to cross them again Betting it all on a losing hand You call me a rival, you call me a friend But you’re sinking in your own sand Show me the rules that you're breaking tonight When the lights start to fade away [Chorus] If this ain't a game Why are we keeping the score? If this ain't a game Why are you begging for more? All of your tricks, all of your lies Look at the panic behind your eyes If this ain't a game Tell me what we're fighting for [Bridge] The clock is running out of time Your move My line My line [Final Chorus] If this ain't a game Why are we keeping the score? If this ain't a game Why are you begging for more? All of your tricks, all of your lies Look at the panic behind your eyes If this ain't a game Tell me what we're fighting for [Outro] If this ain't a game Then why did you play? [Sudden cut to silence]
