Twisted Games is a heartfelt and emotional song that explores the frustrations of unreciprocated feelings and one-sided conversations. It delves into the confusion of being re-initiated into someone's life only to feel rejected again, asking the poignant question: why reach out if you're not willing to engage fully? This song captures the pain of longing and the mixed signals that can arise in modern relationships.
Verse 1:
Why did you text me, oh, just to disappear?
I’m pouring out my heart, but you’re not even here.
It’s always me asking, while you’re just responding,
Thought you’d want to share, but instead, you're just haunting.
Chorus:
What kind of twisted game are you playing with my mind?
You know I liked you, but you left me behind.
Why reach out like this, just to leave me on read?
It’s such a cruel joke, and it’s messing with my head.
Verse 2:
You knew I waited, I was holding on tight,
But you just played your cards, left me in the night.
A conversation's a dance, but you stepped on my toes,
Leaving me in silence, with so many unknowns.
Chorus:
What kind of twisted game are you playing with my mind?
You know I liked you, but you left me behind.
Why reach out like this, just to leave me on read?
It’s such a cruel joke, and it’s messing with my head.
Bridge:
I opened up my heart, thought you felt the same,
But you threw it all away, it’s a one-sided game.
You texted me just to turn my world upside down,
Why tease me with your words if you’re not in town?
Chorus:
What kind of twisted game are you playing with my mind?
You know I liked you, but you left me behind.
Why reach out like this, just to leave me on read?
It’s such a cruel joke, and it’s messing with my head.
Outro:
So once again I’m left, wondering what’s real,
A flicker of your interest, now I can't help but feel.
Why did you even text me, if you weren’t going to try?
Just a game of hearts, but I’m the one who cries.

why did you even text me if you werent going to put in any effort in the conversation? It was only me asking questions while you were just answering. You knew i liked you, yet you knowingly texted me after no contact just to reject me again, what kind of twisted game are you playing?
