I could stay here the rest of my life
I could be happy, never be lonely
I dont need to go looking for misery
I could surround myself with my props
Playing my part, getting caught up
In a game, some game, that anyone can play
I could be proud of things I have done
Pretend I dont have to try to be someone
I could say that Ive done it all before
I could get wiser, I could get jaded
I could remember, I could just fade away
In a game that anyone can play
I am so proud, I dont have to try
Never a need to justify it when
People say "hey I was important too"
Memories go to reinforce
The things I have done, for better or worse
Its a game that anyone can play
Just when you think that all your answers are so right
Youll fade away and disappear from sight
The ones who said youre great will find another way
I could be sad, I could be lonely
I could still have some friends if I only
Didnt play the games I had to play
I was important when I was cool
Now it gets lonely playing the fool
Its a game that anyone can play
