2
So here I am once more
3
In the playground of the broken hearts
4
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned
5
Yet another emotional suicide
6
Overdosed on sentiment and pride
7
Too late to say I love you
8
Too late to restage the play
9
Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday
10
I'm losing on the swings
11
I'm losing on the roundabouts
12
I'm losing on the swings
13
I'm losing on the roundabouts
14
Too much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play
15
The game is over, the game is over
16
So here I am once more
17
In the playground of the broken hearts
18
I'm losing on the swings
19
I'm losing on the roundabouts
20
The game is over
21
Yet another emotional suicide
22
Overdosed on sentiment and pride
23
I'm losing on the swings
24
I'm losing on the roundabouts, roundabouts, the game is over
25
Too late to say I love you
26
Too late to restage the play
27
The game is over
28
I act the role in classic style
29
Of a martyr carved with twisted smile
30
To bleed the lyric for this song
31
To write the rites to right my wrongs
32
An epitaph to a broken dream
33
To exercise this silent scream
34
A scream that's born from sorrow
35
I never did write that lovesong
36
The words just never seemed to flow
37
Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfection
38
And examine the shadows on the other side of morning
39
And examine the shadows on the other side of morning
40
Promised wedding now a wake
41
Promised wedding now a wake, awake
42
The fool escaped from paradise
43
Will look over his shoulder and cry
44
Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer "Why?"
45
As you grow up and leave the playground
46
Where you kissed your prince and found your frog
47
Remember the jester that showed you tears, the script for tears
48
So I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
49
In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
50
Has gone solo in the game
51
I've gone solo in the game, but the game is over
52
Can you still say you love me
53
Can you still say you love me
54
Can you still say that you love me
55
Do you love me
56
Do you love me
57
Do you love me
58
Do you love me, the jester's tear
59
Can you still say you love me
60
Can you still say you love me
61
Can you still say that you love me?
62
The jester's tear, the jester's tear
63
Do you love me
