Am I a Game to You?

Am I a game to you?
I bet you think I don’t have a clue
All you ever wanted was to go to first, second, or third base
You say you love me but you really love the chase
What about the good times: your smile, your kiss, your hug
To you, I was just a girl, but to me, you were like a drug
My life before you was planned and simple
Oh man, didn’t I fall for your dimples
I know that every love story was cliche and exciting to the core
You may not know this, but I wanna be worth fighting for
Am I a game to you?
When I found out about your secret, I was so blue
I knew I couldn’t change you for who you are
But with a broken heart you caused, I was trapped inside a jar
I’m trying not to make it a big deal, but it's just too hard
Now you know why my heart was on guard
I have plenty of reasons to hate you, but why can’t I do it?
You said you want to put my heart back together after it was split
I’m cold without you, but I recall all the pain you put me through
But when I’m near you, you smell like a morning dew
Am I a game to you?
I want you but I want you to want me too
Did you even love, care, or respect me for a bit?
If you did or still do, then prove it.
