lyrics

I want to read your mind
Mesmerized though I get it wrong every time
I could try to understand where you’ve gone
Find the truth behind the mask you display
But I’ll never figure out the rules of the games that you play

You think I’ve lost control
Don’t you know when control takes hold it will never let go
You could try to understand what I’ve done
Find the lies behind the act I portray
But you’ll never figure out the rules of the games that I play

Now we turn to each other just to look away
Caught in the act out of spite
If we’d only admit the mistakes we’ve made
We’d see the chances to make them right

We could try to understand who we are
Find the dreams behind the things that we say
When I try to read your mind, you lock your thoughts away
When you think I’ve lost control, I tell you I’m ok
No, we’ll never really know the rules of the games that we play
