Briquet Lyrics

It hurts me that it's got to be this way
I can no longer hide
God knows I've tried
I held on for as long as I could
If I could change it you know that I would

This is the way I am
This is what I do
We can always pretend
There's not a word you cannot bend

I cried tears, there not for you
Playing a game I know you've done too
But trust me I'll be there to light your cigarette
And I'll try to make you laugh
And I'll try to understand
Still it's all the same you know
I'm just playing my game

Close your ears if you don't like
The sound of my voice
You're right,
Like I had a choice
