EVANESCENCE
"The Game Is Over"

Had enough, I've really had enough
Had enough of denial
I'm not alright, but I'm not gonna lie
I don't know that I ever was
All alone, I've waited, all alone
Held it in as I played by your rules
I've been biting my lip, but I'm losing my grip
I'm coming down, down, down

[Pre-Chorus:]
When all the hate burns off
I'm left here with the pain
Behind our vain devices
Are we all the same?
Ooh, ah, ah, ah

[Chorus:]
Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don't have to pretend

Take a breath and try to play along
But I'm a terrible liar
I feel the world like a brick on my chest
And the party's just begun
Throw the rope, I'm wading through the mud
From your mouth flow a thousand truths
But you know
There's only one

[Pre-Chorus:]
When all the hate burns off
I'm left here with the pain
Ooh, ah, ah, ah

[Chorus:]
Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don't have to pretend
Sweet words, they mean nothing, they're not true
'Cause the game is over

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge:]
I want it all or I want nothing at all
Maybe I can

[Chorus:]
Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don't have to pretend
Your sweet words, they mean nothing, save your breath
The game is over
