about

'The Game" is a heartbreaking Country anthem. Truth and pain can set you free as the chorus says 'Not mine, not mine, Not me!' A powerful declaration. Refusing to accept her lot in life, she is compelled to escape , to reach up toward the light. The Game is the 4th release from the opera - inspired story that began with 'Desperado Debutante'. This release is a deeply personal one for Sonia and begins the 2nd act of the story with an achingly honest and hopeful Country Song for anyone who has been trapped by a great love shattered. The Game is the next episode in this true Country Opera.

The Game
Music and Lyrics (Official Lyrics)
By: Sonia Kazarova
I play the part in honesty
Protect my heart where you can’t see
You threaten me and call me names
A prisoner within the game.

(Chorus)
Not Mine
Not Mine
Not Me

Not Mine
Not Mine
Not Me

A Marriage built on shifting sand
Can’t bring me joy, you understand.
What love was there before I came?
When I am gone will love remain?

Not Mine
Not Mine
Not Me

Not Mine
Not Mine
Not Me

We’re in and out of this thing
our castle built on wedding rings
I fell the pull of many things
The promises we made,
In front of god and family.
You broke my heart in 2 or 3
pieces for the game.
Pieces for the game.

It’s getting late and you’re not back
Pick up the phone and you just laugh
Out again and six sheets in.
I’m pacing by the door again
Our girl is sleeping soundly now
3am and not a sound.
I’m in the game and can’t get out.

Nooo
Not Mine
Not Mine
Not Me

Not Mine
Not Mine
Not Me

We’re in and out of this thing
our castle built on wedding rings
I fell the pull of many things
The promises we made,
In front of god and family.
You broke my heart in 2 or 3
pieces for the game.
Pieces for the game.
