Hurting Game

Hurting Game - Trijntje Oosterhuis

Well it has been so long

Never thought

That I'd see you again

Too long living

With this dull aching pain

Deep and slow

Well I had to let you go

Then you walked back into my life

And you said all the things

That I wanted to hear

I'd be lying if I say

It didn't feel good

Just to see you again

I can't afford to care

About you and me anymore

Oh darling it's not me

That you're looking for

Yes we've got to say goodbye

'Cause you know

It could never be the same

So we've got to stop

Touching the flame

'Cause you know

It's just a hurting game

I loved you

Then and you know

I'd still love you now

But we're not free to be

I'm not gonna hurt him the way

That you hurt me

Now you appear from way back when

Standing here like a vision

Of what might have been

Yes we've got to say goodbye

'Cause you know

It could never be the same

So we've got to stop

Touching the flame

'Cause you know

It's just a hurting game

Yes we've got to say goodbye

'Cause you know

It could never be the same

So we've got to stop

Touching the flame

'Cause you know

It's just a hurting game

Yes we've got to say goodbye

'Cause you know

It could never be the same

So we've got to stop

Touching the flame

'Cause you know

It's just a hurting game

You know it's just a hurting game
