Lyrics

Games You Play

I saw you stood down a one way street
But I never made a sound
I lost control at the driver's seat
Now I'm nowhere to be found

You're not from round here
I don't recognise your face
I'll take you somewhere only I know
It's a special place where we meet

Like a dream you're not real to me
You're just stuck inside my mind
Your fragments in my imagination gathered up ready to unwind
Distant memories don't you remember me?
Please don't leave my side
Where did you go?
Cus you never let me know
You never let me know

You think everything's alright
You know I'm sleeping on my own tonight
I don't like the games you play
On and on and on and on they go
You don't have to be alone
They go
You don't have to be alone
So hold on and don't ever let go

I found myself down this one way street
Now my head starts spinning round
A distant sound calls out my name
Now my mind is clear I know that you're getting near
You remember me
I'm back in control I'll never let you go
You remembered me

Everything's alright
Just remember to hold on tight
If you get lost in the night

On and on and on and on you'll go
You don't have to be alone
Don't go
You don't have to be alone
Don't go
You don't have to be alone
Don't go
You don't have to be alone

So hold on and don't ever let go
