The Game

Alyssa Reid The Game Lyrics
1.Letting Go

Writer(s):Alyssa Reid

I can tell that he wants you
I can see in his eyes
But he's trying play his games on you
And you don't see through his lies

But I know he really needs you
And I know you can tell
Cause he's with his boys right now
Acting all big
So you know he's putting you through hell

So tell him to go,
If he's too good for you
Let him know,
If he thinks he's too cool
Move on,
Cause it won't be long
So let's get this done
The crowd is gone

I know you're thinking it's a quarter to ten,
And you wonder why you did it again
Remember what you're fighting for,
As you're walking out that door

It took a minute but I'm starting to tell,
That you're ever gonna figure it out
I won't be the last to know

You took a chance,
Now I'm letting go.


2.The Game

Writer(s):Not Documented

Everywhere I go
When everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game)
The game (the game)

When you said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you

Now you're sitting in your house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know

I had to figure til I made it
And you try to break in
Now you try to take it back
But you know that
I've been doing my thing
I've been running my game
And you know I won't look back
You know that

Everywhere I go
When everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game)
The game (the game)

I'm standing on my toes
To the sky above
And you know you're the one to think
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game)
The game
We all play it the same

As you looked
You saw me walking out
You tried to knock me down
I would go on without you

Now you're sitting in the mess you made
Now you're feeling my pain
And I'm hoping that you know that

I'm stronger cause you made me
You will never faze me
You can never take me down
Cause you know that
I've been doing my thing
I've been running my game
And you know I won't look back
You know that

Everywhere I go
When everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game)
The game (the game)

I'm standing on my toes
To the sky above
And you know you're the one to think
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game)
The game
We all play it the same

Everywhere I go
When everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game)
The game (the game)

I'm standing on my toes
To the sky above
And you know you're the one to think
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game)
The game
We all play it the same
(Play it the same
The game
The game)

We all play it the same
(Play it the same
The game
The game)

It's all part of the game

I gave you my heart
Ooh ooh ooh
I gave you my heart

Woven pictures in my mind
Ooh ooh ooh
A broken promise every time
Ooh ooh ooh

I didn't let you run me dry
Ooh ooh ooh
You cut and stand the test of time
Ooh ooh ooh

It's X's and O's and the game is just started
It's X's and O's and the game is just started
It's X's and O's and the game is just started
If you wanna stay then learn to play the game

I give you my heart
I, I, I, I, I give you my heart
I give you my heart
I, I, I, I, I gave you my heart
But I'm giving up

Afraid of the dark I'm broken
Afraid the sea don't drown me out
Afraid of the post, afraid of the crash
Afraid that this key won't last

I give you my heart
Ooh ooh ooh
I give you my heart
I, I, I, I, I give you my heart
I give you my heart
I, I, I, I, I gave you my heart
But I'm giving up
I, I, I, I, I give you my heart
I give you my heart
I, I, I, I, I gave you my heart


4.Alone Again (Feat. P Reign)

Lyricist:B. Steinberg/Kelly/Ralph Humphrey/A. Reid/Jo Appleby
Writer(s):B. Steinberg/Kelly/Ralph Humphrey/A. Reid/Jo Appleby

'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone

I sit back and reminisce, it hurts to think about it all
We was on top of the world, whoever thought that we would fall
Standing by the phone, alone, ignoring your call
I feel like spiderman, you got me flying off of the wall
I ain't wanna leave, but still I had to go
'Cause what goods a rainbow without my pot of gold
But now your bed's empty and your pillow's cold
You never realized the love until my love was gone

When I said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you
Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that

'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone

You act like you don't need me
'Cause you're scared of being needy
You want to have your cake and eat it too
I call that being greedy
And they say that love costs
Consider this a freebie
No one said this would be easy
Either love me or just leave me
Admit it, we too old for pretendin'
Ain't like our bond is broken
It just needed some mending
And when you need a hand
You know I'll be there to lend it
What's the point in having time
If I ain't there to help you spend it
Yeah

When I said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you
Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that

'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh, I hope that it won't end though
Alone

And I'm hoping that you know that

'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone

'Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

6.Talk Me Down

Writer(s):Dave Thomson/Jamie Appleby/Jesse Labelle

Baby, baby you're driftin' away
Won't be such a bad thing
We both be better if anyway

And I've been packing up your suitcase
Full of all mistakes
Burning through my mind by the time

I find it's harder
As much as I try
I know
I can't put you behind me
(Put you behind me)

But everything you do
When you say
Makes it harder to stay
Just means you're without me
(Means you're without me)

No, you won't talk me down
I'm all the way up here now

What I'm looking for
Isn't back there on the ground
It's a long way to fall
When everything looks so small

I think I'll stay for awhile
You can watch me up high
But you can't talk me down

Lately
I've been running daily
I've been doing my thing
When time is stopping
What the sudden?

I'm done
Wasting time with someone
The only time you need me
Is when you start to fall

I find it's harder
As much as I try
I know
I can't put you behind me
(Put you behind me)
But everything you do
When you say
Makes it harder to stay
Just means you're without me
(Means you're without me)

No, you won't talk me down
I'm all the way up here now

What I'm looking for
Isn't back there on the ground
It's a long way to fall
When everything looks so small

I think I'll stay for awhile
You can watch me up high
But you can't talk me down

I'm bound til I'm broken
Your words left unspoken
As long as you know
That I'm on my own way

And my wings have opened
I know where I'm going
Nothing you do
Will make me stay

No, you won't talk me down
I'm all the way up here now

What I'm looking for
Isn't back there on the ground
It's a long way to fall
When everything looks so small

I think I'll stay for awhile
You can watch me up high
But you can't talk me down

I'm bound til I'm broken
But you won't talk me down
As long as you know
That I'm on my own way
But you won't talk me down

Cause I'm all the way up here now
No, you won't talk me down

8.Without You

Writer(s):Jamie Appleby

I don't wanna go
Baby I don't wanna go
I've cried, I've tried
I came out the other side

I don't wanna go
Baby I don't wanna go
I've cried, I've tried
How can you see me this way?

And then the music plays
But what will be left to say?
I came right out of top
I can make your record stop

I've cried, I've tried
I came out the other side
Don't wanna leave you this way

Oh! Can you hear me say?
I'm Over begging and pleading
I finally made it here
Without you

Oh! Can you hear me say?
I'm Over endlessly waitin'
I finally made it here
Without you

I've been down
But I still made it through
And you know
I've got nothing to lose

Oh! Can you hear me say?
I'm Over begging and pleading
I finally made it here
Without you

I don't wanna stay
Baby I don't wanna stay
I've cried, I'm fine
Catch me on the other side

I don't wanna stay
Baby I don't wanna stay
I've cried, I'm fine
Don't wanna leave you this way

And then the music plays
But what will be left to say?
I came right out of top
I can make your record stop

I've cried, I've tried
I came out the other side
Don't wanna leave you this way
Oh! Can you hear me say?
I'm Over begging and pleading
I finally made it here
Without you

I've been down
But I still made it through
And you know
I've got nothing to lose

Oh! Can you hear me say?
I'm Over begging and pleading
I finally made it here
Without you

Another day
Another reason why I'm alone
You said you'd stay
But lately I've been standing on my own

Here it goes
You said it wouldn't stop
When the records starts to drop
You'll hear me loud and clear
Without you

And then the music plays
But what will be left to say?
I came right out of top
I can make your record stop

Oh! Can you hear me say?
I'm Over begging and pleading
I finally made it here
Without you

Oh! Can you hear me say?
I'm Over endlessly waitin'
I finally made it here
Without you

I've been down
But I still made it through
And you know
I've got nothing to lose

Oh! Can you hear me say?
I'm Over begging and pleading
I finally made it here
Without you
(I can make your record stop)

I'm Over begging and pleading
I finally made it here
Without you
(I can make your record stop)

I'm over begging and pleading
I finally made it here
Without you
I'm over begging and pleading
I finally made it here
Without you
(I can make your record stop
Record stop, record stop, record stop,
Record stop, record stop)


9.Burned

Writer(s):Alyssa Reid

I pray the day you will never end
You said you'd call me
If you change your mind
And wanted to go home

And I felt this coming like a storm
And then the rain began to pour
I knew I'd fall a sleep alone

And as much as I wish I could be by your side
I know I can't erase what you've done
And the times that I've tried
And the lies you've denied
I knew there is no turning back now

I don't want this to hurt
I already have my scars in the words
You say you just run me apart
Tables have turned
So now you've got my heart
And it hurts cause it's still on fire

And now I cry
Cause there's nothing left but a 'Goodbye'
Everything just feels like one big lie
And in time you'll find
That if you play with fire
You'll always get burned

I know I was the only one
Who heard the wrong things
You had done behind you
So you could start again
And I now sometimes I made it hard
But I swear I never would have thought
That you could
Just move on like that

And as much as I wish I could be by your side
I know I can't erase what you've done
And the times that I've tried
And the lies you've denied
I knew there is no turning back now

I don't want this to hurt
I already have my scars in the words
You say you just run me apart
Tables have turned
So now you've got my heart
And it hurts cause it's still on fire

And now I cry
Cause there's nothing left but a 'Goodbye'
Everything just feels like one big lie
And in time you'll find
That if you play with fire
You'll always get burned

And now all the words
You couldn't bring yourself to say
Are more clearer then ever

I'm not gonna listen anymore
If she wants to take you let her

Let her know in your chest is my heart
Don't forget I'm still here
I'm alive
I am burned but I'll survive

I felt this coming like a storm
And then the rain began to pour
I knew you weren't sleeping alone


10.Live To Tell

On the road
Holding on the end of the rope
Have you lost your mind?
Where you left behind to find your way home?

To cries and lie
6 feet deep in lies
Can you hold your now?
Where were you when the lights went down?
And I will be right beside you

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You will live to tell
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You will live to tell
You will live to tell

Look inside
See the misery deep in your eyes
Have you lost yourself?
Are you out of tears for the times you cried?

A heart of stone
Cold and left alone
Can you hold me now?
Will you still be here when the lights go down?
And I, I will beside you

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You will live to tell
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You will live to tell
You will live to tell

I'll do anything you want me to
When you give it up I'll be with you
When you feel afraid I'll pull you through
I'll do anything you need me to

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You will live to tell
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You will live to tell
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You will live to tell
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You will live to tell
You will live to tell


11.Alone Again Pt. 2

Lyricist:B. Steinberg/Kelly/Ralph Humphrey/A. Reid/Jo Appleby
Writer(s):B. Steinberg/Kelly/Ralph Humphrey/A. Reid/Jo Appleby

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?

The phone call
Can you stop the free fall?
Can you be the reason
I can see beyond the lies
If I keep holding on?

I hear you
(Hear you)
Can you stop the screaming?
(Screaming)
Did you stop believing?
I could feel you letting go
I can't be alone tonight

When you said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you

Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?

And leave me
(Leave me)
I know you see right through me
(Through me)
I finally thought you knew me
Well enough to know with you
I feel so ordinary

It's a crime scene
(Crime scene)
Someone killed our last dream
(Last dream)
Did you stop believing?
I can feel you letting go
I can't be alone tonight

When you said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you

Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?

I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Woah, I hope that it won't end though
Alone...

And I'm hoping that you know that

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?


12.Alone Again (Encore Seule) (Feat. Dice B) (French Version)

Writer(s):Alyssa Reid

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you

Ils Ãtaient sûrs que nous deux
C'Ãtsit pour la vie
Car de tous nos amis
Nous Ãtions l'envie
Peu importe les amis
Notre amour survivrait
Une bonne nuit d'amour
Nous suffirait

Mais qui aurait cru qu'on se parlerait plus
Que sur notre belle parade
Un jour il n'y aurait plus
Que tu verrais plus en moi
Cet home qui t'a plu autrefois
Et pour en parler j'aurais
Même plus de voix

Je me suis dit que
Je serais mieux sans toi
Que ça ne marcherait pas
Vaudrait mieux que l'on arête lÃ
Vaut mieux être seul que mal accompagnÃ
Je l'ai toujours pensÃ
J'ai besoin que tu comprennes que

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?

Tu me laisseras
(Leave me)
Je sais que tu vois en moi
(Through me)
Quand tu me regardes
Je pense que tu sais dÃjà que
Je suis rien à cÃ'tà de toi

Je t'entends
(Hear you)
Rien ne sert de crier
(Screaming)
Aurais-tu oubliÃ?
Je ressens toutes es pensÃes
Ne me laisse pas seule ce soir

Je me suis dit que
Je serais mieux sans toi
Que Ãa ne marcherait pas
Vaudrait mieux que l'on arête la
Vaut mieux être seul que mal accompagnÃ
Je l'ai toujours pensÃ
J'ai besoin que tu comprennes que

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?

Je peux pas vivre d'un regret
Mais c'est vrai, je reconnais
Tu me manques
Je souhaitais que mes sentiments me mentent
Mais me dissent vrai, pour de vrai
Je peux pas dire que ça m'enchante
Mais au fond de moi, en secret
J'aimerais que tu m'entendes

Je peux pas l'admettre
Car de mon cÅur je dois rester le maÃtre
Meme que ma mêre dit que
Penser comme a c'est tre bte
Je fais la fte
Pour les pensÃes dans ma tte, arrte
Je me pousse à bout jusqu'
Brler comme une cigarette

Je me suis dit que
Je serais mieux sans toi
Que a ne marcherait pas
Vaudrait mieux que l'on arte la
Vaut mieux tre seul que mal accompagn
Je l'ai toujours pens
J'ai besoin que tu comprennes que

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
(Til I met you)
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
