Resurrection Band Album: Civil Rites Track: Players
Players Lyrics
She left me strangely not lingering like before Her face sad but sure - I stopped her at the door Made some empty promises she'd heard too many times I tried a little a little sweet talk to cover lovers' crimes
She said "How do you love when no one loves in return? If love is a teacher why's it so hard to learn? Tell me, is it better to marry than to burn? Are we just players, players in the game?"
I remember kissin' fingers wrapped in her hair In that rush of emotion did I ever really care? And as I saw her silhouette fadin' down the hall I begged for love's mercy talkin' to the wall
Sayin' how do you love when no one loves in return? If love is a teacher why's it so hard to learn? Tell me, is it better to marry than to burn? Are we just players, players in the game?
When I was a child tryin' to prove I was a man I came upon a woman who told me who I am Sometimes you play the part so well you even fool yourself I need a different kind of love from somewhere else
True love knows to love when no one loves in return Love is the teacher and I got a lot to learn Passion takes its prisoners, got to break before I burn Can't be playin', playin' lovin' games Can't be playin', playin' lovin' games
