The Hurting Game Lyrics

The Hurting Game (Gene Clark, Pat Robinson) Of the sad tale you are the bearer Tell it to me, and you tell the mirror You played the game and lost You're paying up the cost You couldn't make it any clearer I'll tell mine too, if you will listen So far my own true love is missing If she meant everything What was the reasoning? Of giving up love and giving permission CHORUS To get started in the hurting game From that moment things were not the same Where there was happiness There's only loneliness And memories to haunt you Over and over I wish I knew what to say to you You see I feel the same way too I played the game and lost I'm paying up the cost For giving up love and giving permission CHORUS If you get started in the hurting game ?
