Mind games

Keep dancing around
Like thoughts going through my head
One minute, we're just friends with a past
The next, you're playing with my heart strings again.

Tell me is this a game of love?
Or just another mind game?
All I can say is stop!
Stop dancing 'round my head all day!

You wanna know how I feel?
The thoughts racing through my head?
Sugar baby here we go again
When I met you
I was spiraling out of control you see
But you made me want to be a better man
I lied
I cheated
And I've cried my eyes out
But that never changed the fact
Then you showed me true love
You forgave me
That I'll never forget
But it wouldn't last
Karma always comes knocking
And it hit me sure as it could

The empty whiskey bottles
I hid under the bed so you'd never see
The signs I rejected
Telling myself they weren't there
All in my head
All in my head
And there you were
With a smile
that could melt the coldest heart
And a laugh
that was like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day
You showed me a happiness
I thought only existed elsewhere
In a place on high
Where the sky is never grey

Now I'm stuck here
Trying to put my chi into words
Cause the raw emotion needs an outlet
And all I can say is this:
You have your freedom
You had it from the start
The ties that bound you
Exist only within the heart
Follow it where it goes
It'll heal and grow
And in time
You will know
