This Life

I've heard that in time All troubles shall pass away But I've looked at the signs And you know, I'm pretty sure they're here to stay I once had a lover Who found a new "he" And when I didn't want her Well, you know, she came back to me But I heard This life doesn't play games It just gnaws bones and it digs graves I heard this life doesn't play games But it sure seems to play games with me I once had a partner Who made me fold my hand And I have this sinking feeling That it's going to happen again But I heard This life doesn't play games It doesn't play games And I know now that I'm leaving here I can count on all the fortunes to come And I see someone right here next to me But I know, as soon as I reach out my hand She'll be gone She'll be gone But I heard This life doesn't play games It just gnaws bones and it digs graves I heard this life doesn't play games Oh no Oh, oh, oh No, it doesn't play games But it sure seems to play games with me
