For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came

Love is a losing game

Why do I wish I never played

Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game


Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand

More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand


Self professed... profound
Till the chips were down
...know you're a gambling man

Love is a losing hand

Though I'm rather blind

Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned


Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods

And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
