Liner Notes

Song title prompt with some stuff around my (by now) ancient divorce. Not sure why that's popping up in the lyrics so much on some of these songs as it's been long over and done with. I guess it's easy to find songwriting fodder there? I don't know...

I got a pretty decent song here. It's a little shaky in places but overall there's a solid idea, structure, and song here.

Lyrics

Well I’m not impressed
I guess you could have guessed
For all your bolstering
You’re left with nothing to hold
And every lie you told
Every lie you still can’t own
Seems well enough to me
You traded reality for dreams

And now you have nothing to show for it all

Make it seem like you’re the queen so you’re all they see
Tried to warn you but you wanted your make believe
You got played by the very game you made
You got played

Oh

How about now
How does it feel to go without
Wishing every other day
That you would’ve stayed

And now you’re somehow even more alone

Make it seem like you’re the queen so you’re all they see
Tried to warn you but you wanted your make believe
You got played by the very game you made
You got played

Oh

You may be sorry
But you never told me
You may be sorry
But that’s never been on me

Make it seem like you’re the queen so you’re all they see
Tried to warn you but you wanted your make believe
You got played by the very game you made
You got played

You got played by the very game you made is an incredible line. Although thus song is pointing out some faults in the other it really does feel like you're in control of your feelings and where you're at. I dig it. Really like the bridge thing where it kinda goes halftime. Good job!
