My Favourite Game

[1] I don't know what you're looking for

[2] You haven't found it baby, that's for sure
[3] You rip me up and spread me all around
[4] In the dust of the deed of time

[5] And this is not a case of lust, you see

[6] It's not a matter of you versus of me
[7] It's fine the way you want me on your own
[8] But in the end it's always me alone

[9] And I’m losing my favourite game

[10] You're losing your mind again
[11] I'm losing my baby, losing my favourite game

[12] I only know what I've been working for

[13] Another you so I could love you more
[14] I really thought that I could take you there
[15] But my experiment is not getting us anywhere

[16] I had a vision I could turn you right

[17] A stupid mission and a lethal fight
[18] I should have seen it when my hope was new
[19] My heart is black and my body is blue

[20] And I'm losing my favourite game

[21] You're losing your mind again
[22] I'm losing my favourite game
[23] You’re losing your mind again
[24] I’m losing my baby, losing my favourite game

[25] I’m losing my favourite game (losing my favourite game)

[26] You’re losing your mind again (I’ve tried)
[27] I've tried but you're still the same (I’ve tried)
[28] I'm losing my baby
[29] You're losing a saviour and a saint
