Lyrics

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’d 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
It was more than I could stand
Love is a losing hand
Self-professed, profound
'Til the chips were down
Know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Though, I battle blind
Love is a fate resigned
And the 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…
