Trijntje Oosterhuis - Hurting Game lyrics

rate me

Well it has been so long, never thought that I’d see you again

Too long living with this dull aching pain

Deep and slow, well I had to let you go

Then you walked back into my life

And you said all the things that I wanted to hear

I'd be lying if I say, It didn’t feel good

Just to see you again

I can’t afford to care about you and me anymore

Oh darling it’s not me that you're looking for

Yes we’ve got to say goodbye

’Cause you know it could never be the same

So we’ve got to stop touching the flame

’Cause you know it’s just a hurting game

I loved you then and you know I’d still love you now

But we’re not free to be

I’m not gonna hurt him the way that you hurt me

Now you appear from way back when

Standing here like a vision of what might have been

Yes we’ve got to say goodbye

’Cause you know it could never be the same

So we’ve got to stop touching the flame

’Cause you know it’s just a hurting game
