Player

I'm drawn to you someway somehow
You linger, wander, free me from within
There's no way I'd let you get under my skin

Like melodies you know so well
Like drumbeats, and chants of war in the air
Gravity's lost, spinning out of control
The heat of your stares is swallowing me whole

But hey mister, I know this game too
What's nice about it is it's a game just for two
Hey mister see, heartbreak's not an option for me
Come sit beside me, and then you shall see

You can't play a player
How dare you play me
I've toyed with hearts before
Don't start this game with me
You can't play a player
You know I play too
We can't be both victims
Can't be me and you

Run boy, run as fast as you can
Run faster than Forrest
Run like it's your last chance
Run boy, run far away from me
Cos if it's not you,
Then I guess it'd be me

Oh Hey mister, when I look at you
I secretly wish what we have is what's true
Hey mister see, heartbreak's not an option for me
So even if I want you, I know it just can't be

You can't play a player
How dare you play me
I've toyed with hearts before
Don't start this game with me
You can't play a player
You know I play too
But the player's been played
And now you've played me too
