Playing Games with the Pain

[Verse 1] Wearing my heart on my sleeve, pretending like I've never been hurt Letting another one get close, knowing she'll just break me Just like the others, yeah, just like the others [Verse 2] Putting myself out there, hoping this time might be different But deep down I already know, she'll leave me high and dry Guess I'm a glutton for punishment, can't help falling hard Even though it always ends the same, shattered in pieces [Chorus] Why do I keep doing this to myself? Setting myself up to fail Every time I think I've found the one, she slips right through my hands When will I learn my lesson, stop giving my heart away? Until then I guess I'll keep picking up the pieces, putting myself back together again [Verse 3] Hiding the pain, knowing there's nothing to gain Wallowing in my shame, but I still play the same game Here I go again, knowing I'll be back where I've been [Bridge] I tell myself it'll be different this time She'll see the real me, fall in love with my heart But deep down I know, it's just wishful thinking Another broken promise, another shattered dream [Chorus] Why do I keep doing this to myself? Setting myself up to fail Every time I think I've found the one, she slips right through my hands When will I learn my lesson, stop giving my heart away? Until then I guess I'll keep picking up the pieces, putting myself back together again
