Put down the keys baby why do you have to leave?
You know just what you’re doing the words you say get to me,
All this fussin’ and fightin’ it just don’t make sense to me,
Let’s go back to where we were, you and me against the world, yeah
I fell in love with the things that you said to me,
Now the silence you show I don’t know if it’s meant to be,
Oh one moment you want me, the next you go set me free
Push me through our darkest days or we can go our separate ways
My love is not a game,
You come with pleasure and pain
But who am I to blame, blame
Maybe I treat you the same
My love is not a game
Not a game
Not a game
Maybe I treat you the same
I don’t know why it’s the way that it has to be,
All those times that you left it just doesn’t seem right to me,
And the games that you play they’ve been taken a toll on me,
We just need to find a way, this won’t last another day
My love is not a game,
You come with pleasure and pain
But who am I to blame, blame
Maybe I treat you the same
Why won’t you try to change,
No one can take your place
Or maybe I’m to blame, blame
‘Cause girl I treat you the same
My love is not a game
Not a game
Not a game
Maybe I treat you the same
This night is cold in the kingdom
I can feel you fade away
From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and
Your steps keep me awake
Don’t cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I’m slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?
A little sympathy, I hope you can show me
If you wanna go then I’ll be so lonely
If you’re leaving baby let me down slowly
Let me down, down
Let me down, down
Let me down, let me down
Down, let me down, down
