Rules of Play lyrics

Now, sister, I have come to clear my name

Or at least try to

Is there something to free me from this pain?

Oh, what did I do now?

Following so many rules

Making so many mistakes

It keeps getting away from me

Because this life is a game I don't know how to play

So many lies and disguises I can't tell what's fake

But I can tell by the same sad look on your face

You and me, we are the same

Like stepping into traffic with a hand over my eyes

Feeling helpless to the tide

I try to run, but it's the same thing every time

We fight this war from different sides

But we never knew the rules

Bend, follow or to break

Lost in this place

Because this life is a game I don't know how to play

So many lies and disguises I can't tell what's fake

But I can tell by the same sad look on your face

You and me, we are the same

Under my breath, I've said your name a thousand times

I'd save your life if you'd save mine

I feel your pain, do you feel mine?

Because this life is a game I don't know how to play

Because this life is a game I don't know how to play

So many lies and disguises I can't tell what's fake

But I can tell by the same sad look on your face

You and me, we are the same

Yeah, this life is a game that I don't know how to play

Oh, this life is a game that I don't know how to play

I don't know how to play

I don't know how to play
