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

I came up out of the water Raise my Hands up to the father Gave it all to him that day Felt a new wind kiss my face Walked away, Eyes wide open Could finally see where I was going Didn't matter where I been I'm not the same man I was then. I got off track, I made mistakes Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost Lines get crossed And the pain won't go away I hit my knees, Now here I stand There I was, now here I am Here I am Changed I got a lot of "hey I'm sorry" The things I've done man that was not me I wish I could take it all back I just want to tell em' that I got off track, I made mistakes Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost Lines get crossed And the pain won't go away I hit my knees, Now here I stand There I was, now here I am Here I am Changed I've changed for the better More Smiles, that's better I even started to forgive myself I hit my knee, I'm here I stand There I was, now here I am Here I am, Here I am, Here I am Changed Yes I am I'm changed for the better.

I'd be ridin' in a cab goin' downtown Findin' faces I know in a big crowd Tryin' to drink the pain away, mhmm And I'd be stayin' out all night, never goin' home Girl you know I'd lose all control If I lost you There would be a riot Breakin' up my heart, I'd try to fight it I could go out every night but I'd be lyin' If I said I could live and breathe Without you There'd be a lot of lonely Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me I would do most anything baby If only you would come back to me Come back to me There would be a riot Oh yeah, oooh I'd be checkin' on my phone every minute Waitin' 'round for it to start ringin' And prayin' it would be you I don't know what I'd do There would be a riot Breakin' up my heart, I'd try to fight it I could go out every night but I'd be lyin' If I said I could live and breathe Without you There'd be a lot of lonely Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me I would do most anything baby if only You would come back to me Come back to me There would be a riot If I ever lost you If I ever lost you There would be a riot Breakin' up my heart, I'd try to fight it I could go out every night but I'd be lyin' If I said I could live and breathe There'd be a lot of lonely Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me I would do most anything baby if only You would come back to me Come back to me There would be a riot If I ever lost you There would be, there would be a riot Breakin' up my heart, I'd try to fight it There would be a riot If I ever lost you
