refusing to play the game

[Panther]

Been through this before
it's become commonplace
just another tear in my eye
another lie running down my face

You think I believe
the things you say
give me some credit,
I wasn't born yesterday

Avoiding the truth
doesn't make things alright
cause I know what it's like
to stay out all night

you look for my emotion
you want to see me cry
but that time has long past
the tears have all run dry

I can't accept a love that isn't love
I guess this pride's my shame
so I'm moving on with my life
'cause I refuse to play that game
