I know she's riding for a fall She's a deathtrap when used in war How can you tell the beginning from the end? There's something in her eyes She can't pretend I promised myself that I Would try to make you stay But we play a losing game I know when the time has come 'Cause the numbers going bad And I don't believe that you care There's nothing there You hold a pistol to my head 'Cause if I can't live You want me dead So many people Floating with a dream But tell me do they know What it means to believe I promised myself that I Would try to make you stay But we play a losing game I know when the time has come 'Cause the numbers going bad And I don't believe that you care I've got nothing more to say Where's that ace to play? Our music is better But it can't last forever But if we play something else Something without grace I don't like to explain It will take away the pain I promised myself that I Would try to make you stay But we play a losing game I know when the time has come 'Cause the numbers going bad And I don't believe that you care We say that we take it day by day But it won't erase the pain I promised myself that I would stay But there's nothing left to say It's a losing game
