Stare at the number
written on my wall,
funny to feel how fast I am falling.
From the beginnin',
I knew wantin' you was wrong,
but it all fades away
as I am calling.
I wish somehow even now
I'd say the words that could save me.
I try to speak,
but silently reach for the telephone.
What a torturous game
I keep playin'.
And I know it's insane,
I should be runnin',
but I keep stayin'.
What a torturous game.
In your arms, I find empty desire.
It's always the same,
what a torturous, torturous game.
As I wait for your answer,
the mirror on the table
shows me the face of the one
I should be blaming.
I know I should hang up right now,
I'm just not able.
I need you. Without you,
my whole world is fading.
I called your name at the start
to numb the pain of a broken heart.
The rules have changed,
a fool remains who can't break away.
What a torturous game
I keep playin'.
And I know it's insane,
I should be runnin',
but I keep stayin'.
What a torturous game.
In your arms, I find empty desire.
And it's always the same,
what a torturous, torturous game.
It seems in vain,
these hands that shake
are desperately prayin'
for the soul I've stained
and the pain you can't take away.
What a torturous game
I keep playin'.
And I know it's insane,
I should be runnin',
but I keep stayin'.
What a torturous game.
In your arms, I find empty desire.
It's always the same,
what a torturous, torturous game.
What a torturous game
I keep playin'.
And I know it's insane,
what a torturous, torturous game.
What a torturous game.
In your arms, I find empty desire.
And it's always the same,
what a torturous, torturous game.
It's a torturous game, yeah.
I know it's insane,
a torturous game,
a torturous game.
