Back In The Game

BACK IN THE GAME - Written by Carroll Bryant 

It was a struggle 

But if you're gonna pull through you gotta hang tough

This busted bubble

Took a lot out of me and then I lost you 

And then I lost love 

Now I'm running down my own road

Pulling my own load 

And even if you didn't go I was never gonna be the same 

Now I'm back in the game 

Living in my own fame

Trying to forget your name 

And you know I want to forget it so much 

I know it might sound lame

And baby, it could be a big shame

But if I get to do everything I set out to do

I could get back in the game

Back in the game of love

It was a hassle 

Time stood still for so long I thought I would die

This heart was baffled 

No pain then no gain and I didn't think I wanted to try

Now I'm making some wishes come true

Betting on my own life

And even if you didn't mind I was never gonna care 

Now I'm back in the game 

Living in my own fame

Trying to forget your name 

And you know I want to forget it so much 

I know it might sound lame

And baby, it could be a big shame

But if I get to do everything I set out to do

I could get back in the game

Back in the game of love

You know as well as I that sometimes 

It's not fair 

I had wounds from your word sword 

You just stared 

I'm a maker of dreams

You're a taker of screams 

I'm as simple as it seems

You're so evil and mean 

Now I'm breaking in my own rules

Taking classes in an old school

And even if you disappeared 

I promise not to notice it 

Now I'm running down my own road

Pulling my own load 

And even if you didn't go I was never gonna be the same

Now I'm back in the game 

Living in my own fame

Trying to forget your name 

And you know I want to forget it so much 

I know it might sound lame

And baby, it could be a big shame

But if I get to do everything I set out to do

I could get back in the game

Back in the game of love

And even if you disappeared I promise not to notice it
