Game She Plays

She's got that look, the kind that pulls you near

But every move she makes is crystal clear

It's all a game, and I just took the bait

She smiles, then vanishes behind the gate

She texts at midnight, deletes by dawn

One minute close, next minute she's gone

Flirting like fire, then turning to frost

I thought I had her... but I got lost

She moves like a queen on a broken board

You chase her truth, she just says "ignored"

I try to play cool, pretend I don't care

But I'm still falling through her vacant stare

This is the game she plays... she reels you in

Just to remind you, you'll never win

She loves like a mystery, dressed in disguise

Gives you her heart, then tells you it's lies

This is the game she plays... every night

You're holding on to nothing, thinking it's right

She loves the chase, not the catch or the stay

She's already planning her getaway

This is the game she plays... and I still play

Says she's "not ready," but flirts on the low

Claims she's been hurt, but won't let it show

She whispers promises dipped in perfume

Then disappears, like smoke in the room

She's got her secrets, her locks and codes

I'm mapping her paths, all dead-end roads

But every riddle leads back to her smile

And I still chase her, mile after mile

This is the game she plays... hearts on the line

Makes you believe her absence is fine

She gives you glimmers, then shuts all the lights

You're stuck replaying those almost nights

This is the game she plays... cruel and kind

Messing with your peace, then leaves you blind

She loves the game, not the truth you crave

You're just another soul she won't save

This is the game she plays and I behave

I should've known, should've walked away

But her silence speaks louder every day

She deals her cards with a poker face

And I fold again, in the same damn place

She's got her secrets, her locks and codes
