Not A Game (Broadway Version)

This is not a game

Who needs service when it's like we're not here
Just dance and noise, not real and near
But there's a boy who read your post
And now a mother holds him close

This isn't balance, it's a war
Your questions kicked down doors
While we just try to breathe again
This is not a game

This is fear, this is shame
This is not a game
Pushed away
Say what you will, but feel this weight

You don't care
To tweave the slate
To the one still holding on
You are brave just by going on

You are not the lie they claim
You are love
This is not a game
We're still here, still in frame

This is not a game
Not your blame
We ride through fire, not for fame
And we will not be named in vain

You're not a game
Boy
Girl
Love

Hold
Hold
