Lyrics for Into A Game

I never thought it could come to this, As you sit there crying, Hanging on with your fingertips To something that's already dead. Now we're into a game And it's all a bit strange. Once on a time we were sincere; Now, we're acting charades, Hiding behind cracked images From other people's stages; Now, we're into a game, And it's all a bit strange, But familiar, too... The rules never change; I know it, but do you? Let's stop it now. I've seen it all before, And this play no longer moves me, But the closing of a door Is never easy. Look at the cards in your hands: Kings turned to jokers. There are no prizes for laughing: Situation hopeless. Now we're into a game And it's all a bit strange, But familiar, too... The rules never change; I know it, but do you? Let's stop it now. It's no good looking to me for reassurance. I'm tired and don't need you to show me Your bruised innocence.
