“This Game” originally appeared in The Anix’s second studio album, Play, Dance, Repeat in 2005 where it was very much different from the current version. Almost all of the lyrics was rewritten for the 2008 version and only a few seconds of the original intro was reused.
[Verse 1]
I see the separation is coming
But I don't know where it'll go
We're just different people in different places
Stuck in the undertow
You did enough to say anything
I know the tricks you have up your sleeve
[Chorus]
You made your move coming into this game
I ask you why but you can't say
No one can lose but still our love doesn't change
Nobody ever wins this game
[Verse 2]
We're complicating all that is simple
As easy as it is
The afflictions come in a ruthless whisper
Much louder than a kiss
And these won't be the last words I say
I hope a comeback comes into play
[Chorus]
You made your move coming into this game
I ask you why but you can't say
No one can lose but still our love doesn't change
Nobody ever wins this game
You made your move coming into this game
I ask you why but you can't say
No one can lose but still our love doesn't change
Nobody ever wins this game
[Bridge]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-oh-oh)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Final Chorus]
You made your move coming into this game
I ask you why but you can't say
No one can lose but still our love doesn't change
Nobody ever wins this game
You made your move
I ask you why but you can't say
No one can lose
Nobody ever wins this game
