Adele Love Is a Game

All your expectations

Of my love are impossible

Surely you know

That I’m not easy to hold

It’s so sad how incapable

Of learning to grow I am

My heart speaks in puzzle and codes

I’ve been trying my whole life to solve

God only knows how I’ve cried

I can’t take another defeat

Next time would be the ending of me

Now that I see

 

That love is a game for fools to play

And I ain’t fooling

What a cruel thing to self-inflict that pain

Love is a game for fools to play

And I ain’t fooling

What a cruel thing to self-inflict that pain

 

How unbelievable

Of me to fall for the lies that I tell

The dream that I sell

When heartache is inevitable

But I’m no good at doing it well

Not that I care

Why should anything about it be fair

 

When love is a game for fools to play

And I ain’t fooling

What a cruel thing to self-inflict that pain

Love is a game for fools to play

And I ain’t fooling again

What a cruel thing to self-inflict that pain

 

No amount of love can keep me satisfied

I can’t keep up

When I keep changing my mind

The feelings flood me

to the heights of no compromise

 

Love is a game for fools to play

And I ain’t fooling

What a cruel thing to self-inflict that pain

Love is a game for fools to play

And I ain’t fooling

What a cruel thing to self-inflict that pain

 

I can love me

I can love my whole again

I love me now

I can love everything

I’m a fool for that

You know I, you know I'm gonna do it

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I’d do it all again

Like I did it

‘Cause I’m addicted, I’m addicted

You know I’m gonna do it again
