I was fool enough
To play your twisted game
Yet the odds were clear
Not a single chance
Shame on me
Here I am again
I was fool enough
To play your fucked-up game
All these made-up lies
For a pretty face
Shame on me
Here I am again
Was this real all along
Maybe just out of my mind
Was this just for the fuck
Or am I out of touch
Trust me, I don’t even care
'Cause today, I'm breaking this wall
Blinded, Naïve
Missing the signs
Trapped in a cage, with a lion
Trying to hunt me down
Taking pleasure to see me crawl
Trapped in a cage, with an animal
Give it up now
Oh, we both know how this is gonna end
Give it up now
Don’t even try to pretend
Give it up now
Oh, we both know how this is gonna end
How this is gonna end
Your turn
Play me, deceive me again
Well, not this time, honey
No, I won’t fall for this
Reveal the cards, expose the lies
Time to release me from my ties
I will watch you fall
Babe, I’m taking back the crown
Such a pity, who would have guessed it
Your loyal pet ended up biting your hand
What does it feel like
Do you feel sad
Your sweet perfume has the same bitter taste of betrayal
Deeper and deeper
You keep digging your own grave
And too late, oh so late
You know there’s nothing left to save
Get back on your feet
You’re so sad to look at
Don’t make more promises
They mean nothing to me
You had all the time to fix the mess you made
But you preferred to pour the salt into the wounds
Let’s celebrate, I raise my glass to you
After all these years, I learned my lesson
Wearing a life jacket making harder to keep
Your head above water
Give it up now
Oh, we both know how this is gonna end
Give it up now
Don’t even try to pretend
Give it up now
Oh, we both know how this is gonna end
How this is gonna end
Your turn
Play me, deceive me again
Well, not this time, honey
No, I won’t fall for this
Reveal the cards, expose the lies
Time to release me from my ties
I will watch you fall
Babe, I’m taking back the crown
I believe
I believe
You better
Step the fuck back
Play me, deceive me again
Well, not this time, honey
No, I won’t fall for this
Reveal the cards, expose the lies
Time to release me from my ties
I will watch you fall
Play me, deceive me
Again, again, again
Tell me you're sorry
Again, again
I am taking back the crown
