For you, I was the flame
Love is a losing game
Five-storey 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 bare
Love is a losing hand

Self-professed, profound
'Til the chips were down
Know you're a gambling woman
Love is a losing hand

Memories mar my mind
Love, it is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
