*Love, Do Not Play Your Tricks With Me Again*
I'm not a piece on a chess board
Neither am I a yacht on troubled sea
So love
Do not play your tricks on me again
For too long in your old name
I'd given my heart to strangers
After brutal betrayals of many brothers
All I get back is still its broken pieces
I'd bargained even with my finest garment
All I have now is a wardrobe of a thousand rags
This night you robbed me of my sleep
That night, you stripped me of peace
For how long must I fall for the same old lie
All for the sake of love
I'm loosing my mind for her by the day
This damsel has a hold on me like no other
May be
Fresh tears are beginning to gather
Behind dark clouds of tomorrow
May be
Finally an angel is sent to my rescue
Every shattered hearts needs its mender
But all I've got to offer
Is its broken pieces
Will she see the gold in me
So love!
Please do not play your tricks with me this time
