I don't wanna talk about the things we've gone through, though it's hurting me now it's history. I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too. Nothing more to say. No more ace to play. The winner takes it all, the loser standing small beside the victory that's her destiny. I was in your arms thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense building me a fence, building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there but I was a fool playing by the rules. The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice, and someone way down here loses someone dear. The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall, it's simple and it's plain, why should I complain? But tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same when she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside you must know I miss you but what can I say, rules must be obeyed. The game is on again a lover or a friend, a big thing or a small: The winner takes it all. I don't wanna talk if it makes you feel sad
And I understand you've come to shake my hand. I apologize if it makes you feel bad seeing me so tense, no self-confidence.
