[Verse 1]
              
I don't wanna 

             
talk about the

              
 things we've 


gone through
              
Though it's hu

            
rting me, now 

           
it's history
              
I've played al

             
l my cards, an

              
d that's what 

       
you've done to

o
              
Nothing more t

            
o say, no more

        
 ace to play

[Chorus]
             
The winner tak

              
es it all, the

       
 loser standin

g small
            
Beside the vic

              
tory - that's 

    
her destiny

[Verse 2]
             
I was in your 

              
arms, thinking

     
 I belonged th

ere
              
I figured it m

            
ade sense, bui

           
lding me a fen

ce
              
Building me a 

             
home, thinking

        
 I'd be strong

 there
            
But I was a fo

              
ol, playing by

     
 the rules

[Chorus]
             
The gods may t

              
hrow a dice, t

              
heir minds as 


cold as ice
            
And someone wa

              
y down here lo

            
ses someone de

ar

             
The winner tak

              
es it all, the

       
 loser has to 

fall
            
It's simple an

              
d it's plain -

              
 why should I 


complain?

[Verse 3]
              
But tell me do

             
es she kiss li

             
ke I used to k

iss you?
              
Does it feel t

            
he same, when 

           
she calls your

 name?
              
Somewhere deep

             
 in-side, you 

            
must know I mi

ss you
              
But what can I

            
 say? Rules mu

       
st be obeyed.

[Chorus]
              
The judges wil

A big thing or
