Lyrics Petty Games - Moonrise Nation

Petty Games

Petty games never felt so wrong and so right
Burning letters just to keep you off of my mind for a minute
To forget your every way
Situations might have had us being friends
Falling victim to your deadliest sins
I see the mask that you wear
Take me by the bones and shake me
Oh, words won’t break me
A backstage thought
A moth drawn to light
Was afraid you’d only come out at night
Love will save you and will leave you with the sunrise
Swallow your words, bitterness lines your tongue
Shoot me down, there’s more where I came from
You’re mistaken, there’s no battle to be won
Take me by the bones and shake me
Oh, words won’t break me
Take me by the bones and shake me
Oh, words won’t break me
Time will tell the truth
I gain nothing when you lose
Time will tell the truth
I gain nothing when you lose
Take me by the bones and shake me
Oh, words won’t break me
Take me by the bones and shake me
Oh, words won’t break me
