Just A Game
 

How do I live without you?
How do I go on in life?
How do I lift my head up high?
I wanted to be your wife.

How do I face each lonely night?
How do I fill this aching in my heart?
I wish that I could turn back time,
and together make a new start.

Nothing comes from wishing,
as I have faced the day.
How many times must I go through this?
How long do I have to pay?

Why do men treat me so?
I'm loyal, trusting and honest.
I give my every bit of me.
Betrayal is such a test.

I thought that you were different,
but you are just the same.
When you finally got your way.
I realize for you, it's just a game.
