Kodaline – Play The Game lyrics
Oh, my world is turning inside out
Say I'm crying, breaking up inside
See my heart is sinking to my knees
Tell me brother what is it you need?

I don't wanna be a pretender
I just wanna be me

Nobody, nobody
Nobody's gonna carry you
Try harder
Get smarter
Dream bigger
Play the game

Oh, you’re blaming everybody else
Stop complaining and do it for yourself
Feed your body, your spirit and your mind
Oh my brother just enjoy the ride

I don't wanna be a pretender
I just wanna be me

Nobody, nobody
Nobody's gonna carry you
Try harder
Get smarter
Dream bigger
Play the game

Everybody's got a story to tell
When you’re looking up at heaven
But you’re stuck in hell, come on
You gotta play, play the game

Play the game

Nobody, nobody
Nobody's gonna carry you
Play the game
Try harder
Get smarter
Dream bigger
Play the game

Nobody, nobody
Nobody's gonna carry you
Play the game
Try harder
Get smarter
Dream bigger
Play the game
