the game - dawes lyrics

millie came up playing in the boys clubs
but they made her play at midnight or at 8
her friends all said the times were finally changing
but it only felt a few centuries too late
her eyes were always deep inside her notebook
her hands were always tuning her guitar
and while some stay busy waiting for permission
she was on her way to be a star

and if you asked her if anyone had held her back
she’d tell you shе forgot most of their names
cause thе losers only think about the winners
the winners only think about the game

and then millie fell in love with a civilian
or at least we know he fell in love with her
he could see how bright her light was shining
he could feel how wild her fire burned
but love has its own kind of symmetry
you have to give as much as you receive
and once he realized he could never give her nothing
he decided it was time for him to leave

but now he likes to criticize her privately
while she simply says that neither were to blame
cause the losers only think about the winners
the winners only think about the game
so millie kept on adding to the setlist
and working on her studio tan
and for the first time found it hard telling the difference
between all of her friends and all her fans
which left her with a special brand of emptiness
she’d channel right back into the songs
she wasn’t gonna ask herself the question
if this is what she wanted all along

some people say she was a g*nius
some people say she was insane
but those losers only talk about the winners
and the winners only think about the game

she wouldn’t suffer any fools
but she would dance with them
she wasn’t playing by the rules
she was playing with them

millie knew just when the dust was settled
when it’s time to put the pencil down
when the harmony is only just a shadow
of the way it felt the first 100 times around
which left her to the critics and the experts
to tell the world how millie really felt
to say she lost some kind of competition
she was only ever happy with herself
some might look for meaning in the ashes
she just misses standing in the flame
cause the losers only think about the winners
the winners only think about the game
