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

One 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 battle 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.
