Don't invite yourself in and don't get settled down,
You may be prince charming but you still don't wear the crown.
Its easy to say you'll fit right in,
But time will test your growing grin.

The game of life was set in motion,
Playing hard with no set notion.
Roll the dice and make your play,
You'll soon find out its you who'll pay.

I stuck it out and hoped for more,
It was like beating on the now closed door.
I found no resolve with you by my side,
It was painfully true what needed be done.
It broke my heart knowing that I tried,
But still I knew the end had begun.

I tried not to hurt you I really tried hard,
But you forced my hand the final card.
To soften the blow would do us no good,
There was no way out I did what I could.

You did me no favours I am who I am,
You showed me we weren't all Glitz and Glam.
I did what I did so you did not have to,
I may have dropped the ball but so did you.

Now its ended and neither one won,
A game we thought was meant to be fun.
So I reset the board and wiped the slate clean,
And tried to forget what was and had been.
