lyrics

For the Love of the Game

So you want me to tell you what's happening to us?
I guess nobody told you anything about me.
I am, sincerely, the most insincere man you will ever love.

Wasn't the first and it won't be the last time
we sing these silent songs.
Forgot or too far gone?
I can't quite place the face that led me in the wrong.

Margarita's got a broken jaw
from running her big mouth all around town.
Sure she's a kissing queen but too much you see
will leave you more than a little drunk.
Couldn't you just keep this between us?
I'll always find a way to gain your trust.

Wasn't the first and you won't be the last one
who will sing this silent song.
Was it for love or for the love of the game?

Eight months of debauchery, Eight months of denial.
I loathed every moment but loved how it felt.
Deciding the difference eludes me as well.
I've got a history of repeating misery.
There's just this sick safety in being sad.

Somebody please disarm my ego
before I'm swallowed in myself.
Should I forget? Am I too far gone
to do anything, say anything?
Was it all for the love of the game?
