    So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
    One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned
    Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride
    Too late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the play
    Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday
    I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts
    I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts
    Too much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play, the game is over
    The game is over

    So here I am once more in the playground of the broken heart
    I'm losing on the swings, losing on the roundabouts, the game is over, over
    Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride
    I'm losing on the swings, losing on the roundabouts, the game is over
    Too late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the play
    The game is over

    I act the role in classic style of a martyr carved with twisted smile
    To bleed the lyric for this song to write the rites to right my wrongs
    An epitaph to a broken dream to exorcise this silent scream
    A scream that's borne from sorrow

    I never did write that love song, the words just never seemed to flow
    Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfection
    And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
    And examine the shadows on the other side of mourning
    Promised wedding now a wake

    The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry
    Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why?
    As you grow up and leave the playground
    Where you kissed your prince and found your frog
    Remember the jester that showed you tears, the script for tears

    So I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
    In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
    Has gone solo in the game, I've gone solo in the game
    But the game is over
    Can you still say you love me

    Yes, my guilty pleasure is full on, Fish era Marillion.

    I'll get me coat.
