The Game of Us

You speak in codes I almost break
I move too slow, you hesitate
We circle 'round the same old doubt
Like we don’t know what this is about
Are we playing just to lose?
Is the silence just a ruse?
It’s the game of us, no rules defined
Hearts on edge, but never aligned
We're close enough to feel the heat
But too afraid to face defeat
Are we in or giving up?
Or stuck inside the game of us
We paint the sky with maybe dreams
And hide behind what almost means
You reach, I flinch — we start again
Our echoes louder than our hands
You say nothing, I hear too much
This love’s a ghost we barely touch
It’s the game of us, no rules defined
Hearts on edge, but never aligned
We're close enough to feel the heat
But too afraid to face defeat
Are we in or giving up?
Or stuck inside the game of us
Maybe it’s safer in between
The might-have-beens and might-have-seens
But part of me still wants to try
To lose this game and not ask why
It’s the game of us, a fading light
Still hoping we might get it right
We’re dancing on a fragile thread
With all the words we’ve left unsaid
Are we real or just a bluff?
Still caught inside the game of us
