I know she's riding for the fall She's a d**h trap 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 her stay But we play a losing game I know when the time has come 'cause the number's growing bad And I don't believe that you can There's nothing there You hold the pistol to my head 'cause if I can't live you want me dead So many people flowing with the dream Well tell me do they know what it means to believe I promised myself that I would try to make her stay But we play a losing game I know when the time has come 'cause the number's growing bad And I don't believe that you can I've got nothing more to say Where's that ace to play Our music gets 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 her stay But we play a losing game I know when the time has come 'cause the number's growing bad And I don't believe that you can 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
