No More Games
by
Jo-El Gerber
I'm tired of always hurting myself
Emotionally, I don't know how much more of this I can take
The greatest gift that was given to me
Was the chance to have you as a friend.
I can't believe what I left behind
Even though in my life you aren't anymore
In my heart and memories and in my soul
Is where you will always remain.
A part of me will always be with you
For you showed me the person
That I always tried to be
And you touched me in ways that won't ever go unshown.
Why all these puzzles
When I know you're the missing link
Between me and my happiness
No more games I just wanna be your friend once more.
I won't let you down
I never thought I would feel so strongly about someone
But, when you were around I knew in my heart
That my life first begun.
No more games
No more cards up my sleave
No more hide and seek
Open your eyes and my love you will see.
You're more to me
Than anyone could ever be
I opened my heart to you
I just can't believe you set it free.
I dreamed you into my life
I've prayed so many nights that I'd find you
And there you were in my life all those years ago
I never thought to you my heart would show.
I want to be something more to you
Than just a distant memory
Having you around in my life
Always seemed to bring out the best in me.
No more games to play
I just wanna hold you tight
And even though I might not find the right words to say
I would always be there for you and I will always treat you right.
In my eyes my arms have held you
A thousand times before
I just wanna love you
And give you my heart forever more.
