oh rosie won t you visit me i m in a bad way and i can t seem to shake it remember the one with eyes like the sun it turns out i was wrong i wish i could say it had gone my way but instead i ve just been waiting in vain i keep playing the record forward and back and it s driving me mad i was a fool to believe too blind to see i m just a pawn in a game of catch and release every time he cut the line i thought i d make it out alive till he reeled me in just to toss me back and he did it with a smile oh rose you know just what to say it s not like me to get this bent out of shape but i was chasing a dream down a one way street and now it s out of sight i guess some people don t want the real thing you wouldn t recognize it if all you ve seen is a photograph of a painting on a pixelated screen i was a fool to believe too blind to see i m just a pawn in a game of catch and release  every time he cut the line i thought i d make it out alive till he reeled me in just to toss me back and he did it with a smile they said hold your tongue save some face keep the secrets to yourself but it s a man s world and he got the last word so i had to write it down there s a lesson to be learned in this and that s all he gave to me victory is learning how to bow out gracefully don t hold your breath the future s always hand in hand with fate and part of growing up is knowing when to walk away every time you cut the line i thought i d make it out alive till you reeled me in just to toss me back and you did it with a smile so i cut my ties but won t count the loss the sun was bound to set now you get to be the fool in a game where no one wins it s just a game where no one wins it s just a game where no one game where no one no one wins
