lyrics

There’s a fire on the horizon
And I don’t care at all
Sometimes, sometimes
You’ve got to let the axe fall

‘Cause the game has changed
But I’m turning circles like I’m still caged
Yes the game has changed
But I don’t know what to do with my days

After years of being patient
I can’t feel at all
Sometimes compromise
Really is the last straw

And I’ll take the words that hurt me
And I will burn them all
Restart my own heart
Making it an art form

‘Cause the game has changed
The river’s running both ways now
Yes, the game has changed
The river’s running both ways now
No matter what you say
There's honesty in these veins

I don't feel like I'm losing, you were
Never going to stay
Like it or not, you are choosing
And I'm finally walking away
'Cause the game has changed
And the river runs both ways
The game has changed
The river's running both ways now
