This song is about a best friend who turned on me and on God.

It's just me, myself, and I! A band would be nice.... but I could be a single artist too... wherever God leads I guess:)
Hi! My name is Laura Dillon. I'm a singer/songwriter in Tucson, Arizona looking for ears who will listen to the message that I have to share. Most of my songs are centered on Jesus Christ and the Word of God. My goal is to touch people's lives and bless them with the message that God has given me to share. Right now I'm looking for ways to get there, but being a full time college student time and money is tight. But regardless of circumstances, I trust that God will help me and lead me and that His Will will be done!

Story behind the song
A little over a year ago I got to be best friends with this girl named Julia. We were both seniors in high school, had classes together, and went to the same youth group. My mom never trusted her, but I just told her to stop being so judgemental about people. She was a new Christian, so sometimes I understood why she did some of the things she did, until something huge happened. I found out that she was also someone else's "best friend." Her name was Meredith, she was also the pastor's daughter. Well, she came to me one day and told me about Julia and how she was sleeping with her boyfriend. I wasn't as shocked as I thought I would be. I knew it was true. Julia wouldn't talk to me, so I finally just told her that I knew what she was doing and that I had always been her friend and just wanted to know the truth. She told me that it was none of my business and pushed me away. Now I knew for sure that Meredith was telling me the truth. But Julia contined to lie to me over and over. Meredith, her, and I went into a room with just the three of us, and Julia said she was sorry and would tell me the truth and assured me I could trust her. But she lied again, saying she slipped up and had slept with her boyfriend once, that it was a mistake, and that she wouldn't do it again. Well, I knew she lied AGAIN. I was so hurt and broken. I felt as if I had to suffer and cry for her because she was so cold and hard she didn't realize how she was hurting herself. At the height of these emotions I wrote this song, intending to sing it to her, but I never did. I sang this to a friend and she told me that it sounded like it could also be a song from Jesus and how he's given us everything and we still continue to hurt ourselves and make light of his friendship.
Lyrics
Just a Game © 2003 Words and Music by Laura Dillon This is not a game You’ll die What a shame Are at all aware That I care for you my friend? Chorus: You think it’s just a game You think it doesn’t matter that It will go away It will haunt you forever You think it’s just a game You think it doesn’t matter that It will fade away It will not get better You’re not really my friend You’ve never been No, not to me But I was To you But that didn’t mean a thing to you no Chorus: You think it’s just a game You think it doesn’t matter that It will go away It will haunt you forever You think it’s just a game You think it doesn’t matter that It will fade away It will not get better Please tell me It’s a joke Another one like before Please tell me It’s a lie So I won’t have to worry anymore But it’s true That’s the truth And I don’t know what to say to you, except Chorus: You think it’s just a game You think it doesn’t matter that It will go away It will haunt you forever You think it’s just a game You think it doesn’t matter that It will fade away It will not get better Bridge: And I won’t sit by and watch As you slowly die As you give yourself away to another stupid guy Is there no regret Are you empty inside? Because… Chorus: You think it’s just a game You think it doesn’t matter that It will go away It will haunt you forever You think it’s just a game You think it doesn’t matter that It will fade away It will not get better Bridge: And I won’t sit by and watch As you slowly die As you give yourself away to another stupid guy Is there no regret Are you empty inside? Because… You think it’s just a game.
