I've played all the games
For so many years
And when it's all said and done
It's brought nothing but tears

I've wasted so much time
On things that don't matter
Said all the right words
As just mindless chatter

I'm tired of playing
I'm tired of crying
I'm tired of feeling
On the inside I'm dying

The games must end here
I can't play the pawn
If the games continue
Then I can't go on

The price was too high
For it to end like this
What more is it really
Than another fatal kiss

Betrayed once
For earthly gain
For a comfortable life
Will I do it again?

To waste my life
On a religious game
The ultimate betrayal
The ultimate shame

It will not happen
It ends right now
I will seek Your face
As my face I bow

I will grasp for You
As I grasp for breath
And will not slack off
To the day of my death

For nothing else matters
But this I afford
Nothing compares
To knowing You Lord
