Full song:
Met you at level one, wide eyes and open skies
No map, no guidebook — just the way you caught my eye
We built a world in pixels, made a castle out of chance
But every dream has dungeons, and we learned to fight, not dance
Now it's checklists and conditions,
Side quests of suspicion
Unlocking trust like hidden doors,
While dodging indecision
Love’s startin’ to feel like a video game
Tasks to complete, hearts to reclaim
Saving us both from the ghosts in the frame
But some things you lose just to honor the name
I gave up friends who held me back
Chose you in every branching path
But I still wonder — was it all pre-designed?
Or am I just pressing "retry" one more time?
We used to laugh like it was co-op mode,
Now we’re stuck in puzzles neither of us chose
I heal you, you shield me, but the damage remains
In the corners of silence, we’re both taking the blame
No cheat codes for affection,
Just trial and connection
Sometimes we’re warriors,
Sometimes just reflections
Love’s startin’ to feel like a video game
Tasks to complete, hearts to reclaim
Fighting for joy in a field full of shame
And sometimes the boss fight looks just like your name
I gave up pride to stay alive
But I still ask if we’ll survive
'Cause each “continue” costs a piece of my mind
And I keep pressing "retry" one more time
Checkpoint: I’m losing grip
Your silhouette starts to glitch
We rewind, reload,
But the same lines still won’t switch
Do we level up or fade away?
Is this the last quest or just one more day?
Pixelated kisses, broken-code goodbyes
Press “Start” again, but something’s changed inside...
Yeah, love’s startin’ to feel like a video game
Wins feel hollow, losses bring shame
You hold my hand, but not the same
And I don’t know who’s really to blame
I gave up peace to play this part
Risked my life in this game of hearts
Still staring at that “retry” sign
One more chance, or the end of the line?
So if I lose you, let it be known —
I played with heart, though I died alone.
