Play the Game Lyrics

[Verse 1]
[?] feelings that I do not like
About the situation
I can feel my teeth trying to break the ice
I'm helpless, helpless when it comes to you
I'll say nothing, hope it gets through, through

[Chorus]
I don't know how to play the game
You say that we're not playing
We're not playing well
And I'm not proud of all the loud things I've been saying
I lost my way inside our house

[Verse 2]
And I would be a burden with the things that I feel
If I spell them out and make as if they're real
I'm not sure what is real
I'm selfish, selfish when it comes to you
I guess I feel left out, I'll pull through, through

[Chorus]
I don't know how to play the game
You say that we're not playing
We're not playing well
And I'm not proud of all the loud things I've been saying
I lost my way inside our house
I lost my way inside our house
Way inside our house

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
