MMORPG

We met in a raid, side by side, just a mage and a knight Fighting the dragon, yeah, we stayed up all night It was epic—just the two of us, caught in the thrill But who knew that fire we lit there was all you could feel?

Now I log on every day, just to see if you’re there But it’s not long before you’re caught up in some other lair I thought you’d be mine—some real-life partner in crime But now I’m stuck watching you grind all the time

I was there by your side in the heat of that fight But here IRL, you’re nowhere in sight You love that MMORPG more than you like me Lost in that pixel world you’ll never feel I’m sitting here waiting, but you’re raiding again Yeah, you love that MMORPG more than you like me (more than you like me)(more than you like me)

Tried to make plans—got a ticket to a show But you bailed last minute, saying you couldn’t go You had a boss to kill, a treasure to find I’m out here solo while you’re deep in your grind

I suggested a beach trip, some fresh air and sun You said “Wait, after one more level, we’ll be done” But hours go by, and it’s the same old song I’m in real-time, while you’re lost in a dungeon long gone

Can’t help but laugh at the irony, yeah I’m second to quests in some fantasy land You love that MMORPG more than you like me Lost in that pixel world you’ll never feel I’m waiting around, but you’re off with your guild Yeah, you love that MMORPG more than you like me (more than you like me)(more than you like me)

But hey, I get it now—where you’d rather be You’ve got that kingdom, your destiny So keep casting spells, go live your own dream I’ll be fine, no more chasing your screen

You love that MMORPG more than you like me I’ll let you go to that fantasy spree I hope you and your game find joy and glory I’m logging off now—go write your own story

Its fine, you love that MMORPG more than you like me (more than you like me)(more than you like me)
