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'd 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
