Quit The Game Lyrics - Josh Warren

The streets are strangely quiet 

And it's giving me time to think 

If I lost the one who hurt me 

Did I really lose anything? 

I was as honest as I could be 

But she didn't hear a word 

Cause when you look for lies in honesty 

The truth just can't be heard 

It probably broke her heart that it didn't break mine 

When she packed her bags and told me goodbye 

But I can't keep waiting on some darkened spark to fly 

At some point, you just gotta quit the game 

I started to sense a disconnection 

And our words started meaning different things 

While my eyes turned to the future 

Her eyes were stuck on me 

So I was stuck there in a corner 

I couldn't reach the bar she set so high 

And every conversation would bear disappointment 

Regardless of how much that I would try 

So maybe that's why I tried to conceal myself 

Maybe that's why I tried to escape her gaze 

Not because I ever wanted to hurt her 

But that I didn't know another way 

It probably broke her heart that it didn't break mine 

When she packed her bags and told me goodbye 

And it's not that I am blinded by my hardened heart or pride 

I just can't stand to be the cause of someone's pain 

So I stand here in the quiet 

Feeling some regret and some relief 

Knowing that there's no more expectation 

With which I have to wrestle and compete 

I think that we were never meant to be lovers 

That's a stance I always tried to defend 

I think that you were meant to be my lesson 

That before someone can break, they have to bend 

It probably broke her heart that it didn't break mine 

When she packed her bags and told me goodbye 

But she can't keep waiting on some bandage I can't provide 

At some point, you just gotta quit the game 

At some point, you just gotta quit the game
