Verse 1

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

Five story fire as you came; love is a losing game.

Chorus 1

One I wish I never played; oh what a mess we made.

And now the final frame; love is a losing game.

Interlude

Verse 2

Played out by the band; love is a losing hand.

More than I could stand; love is a losing hand.

Chorus 2

Self professed, profund; 'till the chips were down.

Know you’re a gambling man; love is a losing hand.

Interlude

Verse 3

Though I'm rather blind; love is a fate resigned.

Memories mar my mind; love is a fate resigned.

Chorus 3

Over futile odds and laughed at by the gods.

And now the final frame; love is a losing game.
