Playing My Game

Lene Marlin Playing My Game Lyrics
1.Sitting Down Here


Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

Your words cut rather deeply,
They're just some other lies
I'm hiding from a distance,
I've got to pay the price
Defending all against it,
I really don't know why
You're obsessed with all my secrets,
You always make me cry
You seem to wanna hurt me
No matter what I do
I'm telling just a couple,
But somehow it gets to you
But I've learned how to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day

I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me, kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me

I'm not trying to avoid you,
Just don't wanna hear your voice
When you call me up so often,
I don't really have a choice
You're talking like you know me
And wanna be my friend
But that's really too late now,
I won't try it once again
You may think that I'm loser,
But I don't really care
You may think that it's all forgotten,
But you should be aware
Cause I've learned to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day

I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay,
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
But sure I wanna join you for one day


2.Playing my game

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

Won't open my mouth, You know what I'll say
It hurts me that it's gotta be this way I can no longer hide
God knows I've tried I held on as long as I could
If I could change it, I would This is the way I am, And this is
what I do.
I cry my tears But they're not for you Playing a game
I know you've done too I shouldn't have waited,
But still it's all the same Cause you know, I'm just playing my
game.
Close your ears if you don't like the sound of my voice
You're acting like I Like I had a choice But to leave you behind
well,
I've made up my mind. I cry my tears But they not for you
Playing a game I know you've done too I shouldn't have waited,
But still it is all the same Because you know, I'm just playing
my game.
Don't hold me with your eyes The light in them I cannot see,
No need to blind me There's this darkness where I walk
You thought you had your future All figured out. I cry my tears
But they're not for you Playing a game I know you've done too
I shouldn't have waited, But still it is all the same Cause you
know,
I'm just playing my game, I'm playing my game.


3.Unforgivable Sinner

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

Kinda lose your sense of time 'Cause the days don't matter no
more
All the feelings that you hide Gonna tear you up inside
You hope she knows you tried Follows you around all day
And you wake up soaking wet 'Cause between this world and
eternity
There is a face you hope to see You know where you've sent her
You sure know where you are You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far And now she's up there
Sings like an angel But you can't hear those words
And now she's up there Sings like an angel Unforgivable Sinner
You've been walking around in tears No answers are there to get
You won't ever be the same Someone cries and you're to blame
Struggling with a fight inside Sorrow you'll defeat
The picture you see it won't disappear
Not unpleasant dreams or her voice you hear
You know where you've sent her You sure know where you are
You're trying to ease off But you know you won't get far
And now she's up there Sings like an angel But you can't
hear those words And now she's up there Sings like an angel
Unforgivable Sinner Maybe one time lost But now you're found
Stand right up before You hit the ground Maybe one time lost
But now you're found Stand right up before
You hit the ground - hit the ground You know where you've sent
her
You sure know where you are You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far And now she's up there
Sings like an angel But you can't hear those words
And now she's up there Sings like an angel Unforgivable Sinner



Unforgivable Sinner


Kinda lose your sense of time

'Cause the days don't matter no more

All the feelings that you hide

Gonna tear you up inside

You hope she knows you tried


Follows you around all day

And you wake up soaking wet

'Cause between this world and eternity

There is a face you hope to see


You know where you've sent her

You sure know where you are

You're trying to ease off

But you know you won't get far

And now she's up there

Sings like an angel

But you can't hear those words

And now she's up there

Sings like an angel

Unforgivable Sinner


You've been walking around in tears

No answers are there to get

You won't ever be the same

Someone cries and you're to blame


Struggling with a fight inside

Sorrow you'll defeat

The picture you see it won't disappear

Not unpleasant dreams or her voice you hear



Maybe one time lost

But now you're found

Stand right up before

You hit the ground

Maybe one time lost

But now you're found

Stand right up before

You hit the ground - hit the ground
-



4.FLOWN AWAY

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

I've flown too high on borrowed wings
Beyond the clouds and where the angels sings
In a sky containing no one but me
Up there's all empty and down there's the sea No one here but me
There's nothing but light That comes into sight
There's something up here that makes me wince
And I still got the feelings that I've felt ever since
I got to this place arrived at last
In front there's the future right back there's the past
Everything's moving so fast
There's nothing but light that comes into sight
The present like I've never seen it before
Is this the right place to stay Please my wings fly me away.


5.The way we are

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

I watch you growing sometimes I see myself in you
It can be scary but kinda funny too I hear you talking
A lot of similarities Your choice of words And all the
fantasises
Just the way we are I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird Falling down
From a mountain of frights What's there to hold on to?
The way you makes all smile and the despair when you just
Won't go to sleep You could have me walking a mile to make
you smile still it's not Really a weep I know you fooled me
A million times I just can't help it Don't know why
Just the way we are I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down from a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?
I know you hate it but they really have to do What they do
You're crying out your wishes I understand Yet they don't have
a clue.


6.So I see

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

So I see it, it's right there in front of me
What's a matter, oh you cannot see
Feeling like I did when you blindfolded me
So I hear it, for a brief moment there I thought I knew
All these things they were far, far from true
But I guess you cannot hide from the truth.
So I see right through you And I know what you've been up to
So I see right through you And I know the things you do.
So I see it, it's right there in front of me. Oh, I'm sorry,
You did not wanna see Acting like I did when you betrayed me
So I hear it, they didn't have to scream it in my head
They just could have whispered it instead
Cause I am already over it now. So I see right through you
And I know what you've been up to So I see right through you
And I know the things you do.


7.Maybe I'll go

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

You think you've made it everything's going so fine
But then appears someone who wanna Tear you down
Wanna rip you off those few nice things you've found
When and if you hit the ground. Then it's falling kinda hard
Cause all you do is being yourself
Trying everything to succeed somehow.
But that's not the way things are right now. Feeling kinda lost.
Those reasons Those unkind words being expressed
Oh they'll get to you I promise one day.
But maybe then it's too late for you to say
I knew it from the go cause you know
That's some miles away from the truth. Don't forget
Hey what do you think of me now Am I not like
I once were Still if you don't know me
What's the story of this pen* I guess you're not a stranger
And I can tell you're not a friend
It might take a while but I guess you'll manage waiting till
then.
Then when you confront me with your thought
You may think I don't notice don't get a bit hurt by what you do
I ask you to please think of What I've done to you.
Please search inside and let me know If I've done something
wrong I guess I'll go Far hidden Never to be found


8.Where I'm headed

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

GOT asuitcase in my hand
Fillled with stuff most precious to me
Sidewalk brings my feet
Wherever they're headed
There is no direction given
Just some trust in human mind to rely on
And to hold onto
Honestly don't know where I'll end up at last
Won't even count the days
One thing I sure know
I won't move so fast
My mind in complete haze

CHORUS:
I pass by don't dare to stop
When there's someone I see
There's no one here but me
I'm fooled by something inside my head
If I lay down now
I might seem kinda dead
Just keep on wasting time

Scary thoughts and frightening sounds
In my mind
Still I tr to avoid it
Heading through this hope not one-way alley
Ican't relly sense my surroundings
Seems to be all around
Nothing there to lighten up my way
Honestly don't know whrer I'll end up at last
Won't even count the days
One thing Isure know
I won't move so fast
My mind in complete haze

Repeat Chorus:

I pass by don't dare to stop
I walk slow in secret
Listening to the sound of steps
Imagination seems to go all crazy
I've got all the time I need
Wanna dream fulfill my wishes
Like this future
Alresdy now been entered
Repeat Chorus(three times)


9.One year ago

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

She's walking there alone, No one by her side
She manages to fight the tears, but The pain inside She can't
hide
And all the tears she's cried The moment she closes her eyes,
she starts Thinking of you The dreams that she had one time
Have gone away Will they ever come true?
All she needs is all she needs is you And she wishes today
Was one year ago When you cared so much for her
And loved her so Not a doubt in her mind that it would still be
you
Cause the love that you shared it was true
You never thought about it, What you made her feel
You promised you'd stay together, But the hope she once had
so unreal All she needs is all she needs is you
And she wishes today Was one year ago
When you cared so much for her And loved her so
Not a doubt in her mind that it would still be you
Cause the love that you shared it was true


10.A place nearby

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

I entered the room Sat by your bed all through the night
I watched your daily fight I hardly knew
The pain was almost more than I could bear
And still I hear Your last words to me. Heaven is a place nearby
So I won't be so far away. And if you try and look for me
Maybe you'll find me someday. Heaven is a place nearby
So there's no need to say goodbye I wanna ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side. You just faded away
You spread your wings you had flown
Away to something unknown Wish I could bring you back.
You're always on my mind About to tear myself apart.
You have your special place in my heart.
Always heaven is a place nearby So I won't be so far away.
And if you try and look for me Maybe you'll find me someday.
Heaven is a place nearby So there's no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry I'll always be by your side.
And even when I go to sleep I still can hear your voice
And those words I never will forget

Your words cut rather deeply,

I'm telling just a couple,
But somehow it gets to you
But I've learned how to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day

I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me, kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day
I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me

I'm not trying to avoid you,
Just don't wanna hear your voice
When you call me up so often,
I don't really have a choice

I'm sitting down here,
But hey you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
But sure I wanna join you for one day


2.Playing my game

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

Won't open my mouth, You know what I'll say
It hurts me that it's gotta be this way I can no longer hide
God knows I've tried I held on as long as I could
If I could change it, I would This is the way I am, And this is
what I do.
I cry my tears But they're not for you Playing a game
I know you've done too I shouldn't have waited,
But still it's all the same Cause you know, I'm just playing my
game.
Close your ears if you don't like the sound of my voice
You're acting like I Like I had a choice But to leave you behind
well,
I've made up my mind. I cry my tears But they not for you
Playing a game I know you've done too I shouldn't have waited,
But still it is all the same Because you know, I'm just playing
my game.
Don't hold me with your eyes The light in them I cannot see,
No need to blind me There's this darkness where I walk
You thought you had your future All figured out. I cry my tears
But they're not for you Playing a game I know you've done too
I shouldn't have waited, But still it is all the same Cause you
know,
I'm just playing my game, I'm playing my game.

Lyrics:Lene Marlin
Music:Lene Marlin

I entered the room Sat by your bed all through the night
I watched your daily fight I hardly knew
The pain was almost more than I could bear
And still I hear Your last words to me. Heaven is a place nearby
So I won't be so far away. And if you try and look for me
Maybe you'll find me someday. Heaven is a place nearby
So there's no need to say goodbye I wanna ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side. You just faded away
You spread your wings you had flown
Away to something unknown Wish I could bring you back.
You're always on my mind About to tear myself apart.
You have your special place in my heart.
Always heaven is a place nearby So I won't be so far away.
And if you try and look for me Maybe you'll find me someday.
Heaven is a place nearby So there's no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry I'll always be by your side.
And even when I go to sleep I still can hear your voice
And those words I never will forget
