I love how the shadows and colors change
I don't want a piece of that
'Cause I know there's no peace in that
I can tell myself a thousand times
But you can make a toy of me
And I'll agree that maybe I just couldn't see…that there ain't nothing wrong with us at all
But you keep on playing games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
Games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
I know I should trust my gut
'Cause I know that there's somethin' up
I just hate the place that that path would lead me down
And you say that there's nothing wrong
And I long to take you at your word, but then
All along you're hiding even when you're by my side
….
You're lying
And everything with you is trying
And I don't wanna keep on crying
If I'm the only one
And I've been telling everyone I'm fine
But I feel like I lost my mind, oh
Am I the only one?
If I knew it all along
Was I wrong to take you at your word? But then
All along you're hiding even when you're by my side
And you keep on playing games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
Games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

• Some of my daughters’ dolls and figurines (including a Jem doll! Yes, Jem from that 80’s cartoon 😀)
I’m always intrigued by what my kids enjoy and connect with. It makes me happy.
• Also another sampling of my youngest’s calendar drawings, which also make me happy 😊. My kids’ art always makes me happy, impressed and proud.
