"Winning" lyrics

"Winning"

So many times we've cried
So many times we've played
So many rolls of dice
So many times we've raced
And I don't wanna feel this way
I just wanna be your mate
You made me run a marathon
But you shot me with a starter gun at the gate

Now you won, you won, you won this time
But are you winning?
Yes, you won, you won, you won this time
But are you winning?
'Cause games
Games are supposed to be fun and I
I'm not your enemy
Nobody here's supposed to die

Why you got to be first place all the time?
A little look back would have been nice
Why do you have to play those games?
Why do you have to play those games?

Now get your victory, make it bittersweet
Crowds on their feet calling your name
Or when you're sitting on your own
In a quiet room, you'll know

That you won, you won, you won this time
But are you winning?
Yeah, you won, you won, you won this time
But are you winning?
'Cause games
Games are supposed to be fun and I
I'm not your enemy
Nobody here's supposed to die

Why you got to be first place all the time?
A little look back would have been nice
Why do you have to play those games?
Why do you have to play those games?

I keep saying "Slow down"
You're not winning
When you play those games
It's not finished

Games
Games
