What's in a Game: The continuation

I keep wondering when we'll stop pretending
Waiting for the day to breathe that deep sigh of relief
I keep wondering when we'll step out from behind the fig leaves
Hiding our shame
And stop displacing the blame

It's come the point where it has to be all or nothing
When every half truth brings me so close to justifying
Consequence and regret without a second thought

I keep wondering when we'll stop pretending
Waiting for the day to breathe that deep sigh of relief
I keep wondering when we'll step out from behind the fig leaves
Hiding our shame
And stop displacing the blame of who we are today

I started running, couldn't keep on pretending
When the moment of self-destruct was inches away
Believing I was alone as pride played a two-faced game
How was I to know you were feeling the same?

Sitting in the waiting room
For the news of our consequential doom
Unable to remake the choices of yesterday
A sad moment when all the labels fade away
We stand unoticed admidst the rubble of decay

In the end, the only thing missing was the truth
In the end, the only hope for me and you is the truth

We could just part ways
Revert back to playing games
Call it a new day to start again

A final word before you go
Without you
This flesh and blood is a heap of dry bones
We don't have to be the status quo
We could let love be our new M.O.

I've been wondering when we'll stop pretending
Waiting for the day to breathe that deep sigh of relief
To know things can change
Who we've been isn't the end of all we can be
We can choose grace and starts with the truth

Love can display honesty
No more running away from what we've pretended to be
