Just because you're almost there
Doesn't mean you're going to make it
Just because you think it's all yours
Doesn't mean that you can take it

Just because you take the blame
Doesn't mean that your're forgiven
Even if you call it a day
Doesn't mean that it's forgotten
Caught in a game that two can play

And both can win
But what's the use in playing a game
And giving in
Don't give the game away
Don't give the game away
Just because you're always there
Doesn't mean it's always easy

Just because you think it's unfair
There won't always be a reason
What's a life worth looking for
When we can't get along together
What's the point in living alone

When we really need each other
Caught in a game that two can play
And both can win
But what's the use in playing a game
And giving in
Don't give the game away
Don't give the game away
