The Fix

You speak
And I'll listen
Maybe you know something that I don't
Inspired
This lesson
Getting me to do something that you won't

This game
I'm not playing
It's the only way I know to win
Don't care
What you're saying
I'm going to bring this to an end

You think
That I'm fallen
Into this trap you've laid for me
You're fate
Is calling
This victory will be so sweet

I'll tell you once again
The fix is in

The rules
You made em
Thinking that no one could see your plan
So cruel
You played em
Made em all believe they were your man

But their hearts
You broke em
As if their lives didn't mean a thing
But now
It's your turn
To be enveloped by that sting

It feels
Familiar
But now you're on the catching end
The pain
It's killer
But soon it will feel like a friend

I'll tell you once again
The fix is in

You say you play before you're played
But I don't think that's true
If they loved me they would stay
No matter what I put them through

Love shouldn't be this hard
No secrets should be kept
They all gave you their hearts
But under carpets they were swept

How strange
The feeling
Like there's an empty hole inside
No sound
But screaming
Where happiness used to reside

Is this
What they felt
Oh how could I have been so wrong
Their trust
Was ruined
Memories return inside of songs

Don't know
How could I
Put someone through these twisted games
The tears
In their eyes
And now they made you feel the same

I'll tell you once again
The fix is in

You're tired
Of runnin
From happiness at every turn
You're scared
Of rerunning
To try again just to get burned

That's how
You do it
It's the only way to grow
So act now
Get through it
If you don't try how will you know

Don't play
With feelings
Or else it will come back on you
Be kind
In your dealings
And maybe you'll find love that's true

Then the adventure can begin
The fix is in
