So I did it,
I danced my way back to you but at what cost?
At this point I'm drunk in the rum of my grounded pride,
I'm laying my dignity a rug as you walk by,
All that zeal to look up high is just lost.
I've lost in this terrible game,
A game I started thinking I'd win,
A game I wrote the rules for thinking you'd lose,
But how come all my pawns are in your hands,
The king and queen taken captive,
And I on my knees before you?
Nevertheless, I'm here not to keep scores,
But make sense of the play,
I'm not here to claim us right or wrong
But observe the display.
And for once in my life I raise this pen to see,
Not to stab with the edge, not to place inky blame,
These words are no longer voices of woes and misery,
But eyes too look inwards,
And ears to listen to what my soul has to say.
So I did it,
I danced my way back to you,
Now what will you do?
I danced my way back to you but at what cost?
At this point I'm drunk in the rum of my grounded pride,
I'm laying my dignity a rug as you walk by,
All that zeal to look up high is just lost.
I've lost in this terrible game,

A game I wrote the rules for thinking you'd lose,

But make sense of the play,

Now what will you do?
