New to the Game Lyrics

I never told you just how I felt

Cause I thought it was obvious, the way I would melt

Whenever you touched me, you drugged me

You made me feel lovely

But this punch hit below the belt

I was blushin' when you played with my hair

Thought for sure you would notice, and it wasn't a fairytale

Cause we had our ups and downs then, but you were always my man

Til you disappeared into thin air

It was real love, it was built up

Put our backs into it, don't give up

We were workin through hurtin'

We were great til you threw a curve and

I was new to the game, you kept movin' home plate

So forgive me if I was a little late

You were the first guy that I really liked on such a deep level in my whole life

I thought we had something better, ven something special

You can lie, but I know that I'm right

You made me feel stupid, traded, and played

Foolish and useless and given away

Cause I've never given that much of my love to anyone

But now I can't tell if it's hate

It was real love, it was built up

Put our backs into it, don't give up

We were workin through hurtin'

We were great til you threw a curve and

I was new to the game, you kept movin' home plate

So don't hate me but I'm not gonna stay

I want you to hold me and an apology

There's just so many things I need

Some clarification, my heart is achin'

All this has taken my lungs

Questions are swirlin', wheels won't stop turnin'

My heart is burnin' right through my chest

This isn't a joke and I just keep chokin' on your mirrors and smoke

But I'm tryin to quit

If it was real love, if it was built up

Why did you let go, why'd you give us up

All of the work just to end up hurtin'

We were great til you ditched me for her and

I was new to the game, you kept movin' home plate

You can't blame me when I don't wanna play
