Love is a Losing Game

For you I was a flame, love is a losing game.

Five story fire as you came, love is a losing game

One I wished 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,

'til the tips 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 a futile odds,

and laughed at by the gods

And now the final frame,

love is a losing game
