[Verse 1]
For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

[Verse 2]
One I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

[Verse 3]
Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

[Verse 4]
Self professed profound
Till the chips were down
I know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

[Verse 5]
Though I battle blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
[Verse 6]
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
