Carnival Game of Love

I hate this
And I can’t take this
I really want to know
If this is just for show
I can’t deal
If it’s not real
And I don’t know what to do
Because I don’t wanna let go of you,
But it really depends
If we can ever be more than just friends.
You know I’d give you anything
If I knew you weren’t pretending
But now you’re not even faking
And my heart is breaking.
You said we were best friends
Until the end
But guess we just can’t fall in love
If I am never what you’re really thinking of.
I want to know if you’re lies are truths
Like a rigged carnival booth
I just can’t comprehend
Why this game is coming to an end
Or why my hands are empty
And there is no prize to be seen.
I want to know how this came to be
And why you aren’t talking to me
I really just wanna cry
But then I’d be giving in to this stupid lie.
And I won’t listen anymore
this game is becoming a bore.
I just want you to know this is true,
I really do love you.
