We never knew when we were small
That love took work, cause we had it all
It was given to us but we threw it away
Too young and too dumb, too eager to play

At first it was heady, it was a great rush
Music and partying and getting some tush
But sometimes, too much just ain't enough
Cause I need someone with me when times get rough

The games were all fun
Addictive like drugs
Until it was not
And we were strung out
So I had to quit you

You got what you wanted, just to be free
Oh I hope that you're happy alone, without me
Never answering to anyone, or picking up a phone
Disappearing for days and not calling home

Well I moved on, found love again
And this time I didn't have to say when
It's not always easy, but it's always real
Plus I don't have to question the way that I feel

The games were all fun
Addictive like drugs
Until it was not
And we were strung out
So I quit you

The bends and the breaks, all made me bolder
As the years move along, and I become older
Time passes faster, the sun's nearly set
Yes I still remember, but choose to forget

Because I know the value of letting go
It's a powerful force that lets me grow
The hearts that I hold now, don't hold me back
No, they embrace and support me, and keep me on track

The games were all fun
Addictive like drugs
Until it was not
And we were strung out
So I quit you

But I'll never quit me.
