Stare at the number
Written on my wall
Funny to feel how fast I am falling
From the beginnin'
I knew wantin' you was wrong
But it all fades away
As I am calling

I wish somehow even now
I'd say the words that could save me
I try to speak
But silently reach for the telephone

What a torturous game
I keep playin'
And I know it's insane
I should be runnin'
But I keep stayin'
What a torturous game
In your arms, I find empty desire
It's always the same
What a torturous, torturous game

As I wait for your answer
The mirror on the table
Shows me the face of the one
I should be blaming
I know I should hang up right now
I'm just not able
I need you, without you
My whole world is fading

I called your name at the start
To numb the pain of a broken heart
The rules have changed
A fool remains who can't break away

What a torturous game
I keep playin'
And I know it's insane
I should be runnin'
But I keep stayin'
What a torturous game
In your arms, I find empty desire
And it's always the same
What a torturous, torturous game

It seems in vain
These hands that shake
Are desperately prayin'
For the soul I've stained
And the pain you can't take away

What a torturous game
I keep playin'
And I know it's insane
I should be runnin'
But I keep stayin'
What a torturous game
In your arms, I find empty desire
It's always the same
What a torturous, torturous game

What a torturous game
I keep playin'
And I know it's insane
What a torturous, torturous game

What a torturous game
In your arms, I find empty desire
And it's always the same
What a torturous, torturous game

It's a torturous game, yeah

I know it's insane
A torturous game
A torturous game
