[Verse 1]
Mind games
Oh, I'm playing myself in mind games
You said, "Tell it like it is," and I did
But now I think I told it wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I building you up in my head? (I don't think so)
Am I just remembering the good parts? (I don't think so)

[Chorus]
I know it's not fair
But I really need you here
I didn't mean what I said
Or maybe I'm just scared, mmm
Of being alone
Of being alone, mmm
Of being alone

[Verse 2]
Memories are so biased
We only want people to see us smiling
And edit out imperfections
So looking back, I wanna turn around, mmm, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
But is my rearview mirror clean? (I don't think so)
And can you blame me for feeling this way? (I don't think so)
[Chorus]
I know it's not fair
But I really need you here
I didn't mean what I said
Or maybe I'm just scared, mmm
Of being alone
Of being alone, mmm
Of being alone

[Outro]
Mind Games, mind games, mind games, mind games
I'm playing myself in mind games
I'm playing myself in mind games
