Resurrection Band - Players

She left me strangely, not lingering like before
Her face sad but sure, I stopped her at the door
Made some empty promises she's heard too many times
I tried a little sweet talk to cover lover's crimes

And she said: "How do you love, when no one loves in return?
If love is a teacher, why's it so hard to learn?
Tell me, is it better to marry than to burn?
Are we just players, players in the game?"

I remember kissing, fingers wrapped in her hair
In that rush of emotion did I ever really care?
And as I saw her silhouette fading down the hall
I begged for love's mercy talking to the wall

Saying: "How do you love when no one loves in return?
If love is a teacher, why's it so hard to learn?
Tell me, is it better to marry than to burn?
Are we just players, players in the game?"

When I was a child, tryin' to prove I was a man
I cam upon a woman who told me who I am
Sometimes you play the part so well, you even fool yourself
I need a different kind of love, from somewhere else

True love knows to love when no one loves in return
Love is the teacher and I got a lot to learn
Passion takes its prisoners, got to break before I burn
Can't be playing, playing loving games

Can't be playing, playing loving games
Loving games
