Lyrics
I can't win this game we're playing
I lay down all my cards every single time
There's nothing in my hands, but still I'm grasping
Hoping for another sign
You are secret codes I must interpret
You scatter clues around for me to see
On hands and knees I crawl picking up pieces
Hoping for another sign
Chorus:
I get so tired
Waiting for these tables to turn
You are a lesson
I just can't seem to learn
You seldom ask for what you really want
Instead expecting me to read your mind
This game of cat & mouse just leaves me empty
While you are leaving me behind
I cling to every little thing you offer
Comforting myself w/ every word
I search for signs in songs but come up empty
Cause I can never quite be sure
Chorus
I get so tired
Waiting for these tables to turn
You are a lesson
I just can't seem to learn
Competing for your heart I am your captive
Bursting into flames of jealousy
So I give you more than what you ask for
Except the chance to miss me
Chorus
I get so tired
Waiting for these tables to tuen
You are a lesson
I just can't seem to learn
