Lyrics

The Game

[Verse] Come alive, baby, I've changed Don't you know that love is just a game? Feelings never feel the same Come alive [Verse] Come to me In my most secret, tender dreams Now your voice is haunting me Come alive [Verse] And I wake to find you're sleeping In the deepest reverie My heart is aching and it's burning for you Do you want to be free? [Verse] Come alive, baby, I've changed Now I know love is just a game Feelings never feel the same Come alive [Verse] Come to me In my most secret, tender dreams Now your voice is haunting me Come alive [Verse] And I wake to find you're sleeping In the deepest reverie My heart is aching and it's burning for you Do you want to be free?
