I'm an opportunity,
And I knock so softly.
Sometimes I get loud
When I wish everybody'd just get off me.
So many players you'd think I was a ball game.
It's every man for himself.
There are no teammates.
This life gets lonely
When everybody wants something.
They'll smile up in your face,
But they'll get theirs eventually,
And I hope I'm there.
Surrounded by familiar faces with no names.
None of them know me
Or want to share my pain.
They only wish to bask in my light
Then fade away.
To win my love,
To them a game,
To watch me live my life in vain.
When all is done
And the good fades away
They'll get theirs eventually,
And I hope I'm there.
I drank your poison,
Cause you told me it's wine.
Shame on you if you fooled me once.
Shame on me if you fooled me once.
Shame on me if you fooled me twice.
I didn't know the price.
You'll get yours eventually.
So what good am I to you
If I can't be broken.
You'll get yours, yes,
You'll get yours eventually.
And I knock so softly.
Sometimes I get loud
When I wish everybody'd just get off me.
So many players you'd think I was a ball game.
It's every man for himself.
There are no teammates.
This life gets lonely
When everybody wants something.
They'll smile up in your face,
But they'll get theirs eventually,
And I hope I'm there.
Surrounded by familiar faces with no names.
None of them know me
Or want to share my pain.
They only wish to bask in my light
Then fade away.
To win my love,
To them a game,
To watch me live my life in vain.
When all is done
And the good fades away
They'll get theirs eventually,
And I hope I'm there.
I drank your poison,
Cause you told me it's wine.
Shame on you if you fooled me once.
Shame on me if you fooled me once.
Shame on me if you fooled me twice.
I didn't know the price.
You'll get yours eventually.
So what good am I to you
If I can't be broken.
You'll get yours, yes,
You'll get yours eventually.

'Cause you told me it's wine
Shame on you if you fooled me once
Shame on me if you fooled me twice"
This is the best line ever!!! I can relate to it so much!
She's saying that the people who do that sort of stuff are going to have karma come around and they'll get what they have coming to them.
If I can't be broken
You'll get yours, yes
You'll get yours eventually"
Perfect closing lines to this amazing song.
I think that she's saying about how people try to get stuff from her, because she's famous, and they think that's all that matters. They don't see who she really is deep down, and they don't try to.
I think it's also kinda about how she can be in a room full of people, and feel completely alone. How she can be talking to someone and not know whither they really like her, or they're just pretending to, just because she's famous and they think that she owes them something.
I guess it's just a thought...
she is talking about how she is vulnerable and how she opens up to several different people and it several different betray her and each other to get to her (when they say a board game with no teammates) (she is the pieces)and she is saying people are prying in her life but really dont care about what she really feels or wants...and people are secrelty betting against her love and thinking she will be nothing in love...then she says when everything settle down at the end of time then karma will get theirs but when she says at the end that i am no good to you....its that she knows she is stronger than that and that why would they try to pry in her life when she wont be broken...but in the end karma will bite them back
To me this song is about KARMA
