Love Is a Losing Game (Live At Mercury Music Awards) For you I was a flame Love is a losing game Five story fire as you came Love is a losing game Why not 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 There 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 batted blind Love is a fate resigned And the memories that mar my mind Love is a fate resigned Over futile odds And laughed at by the god And now the final frame Love is a losing game
