[Verse]
I don't want t
o talk
About the thin
gs we've gone
through
Though it's hu
rting me
Now it's histo
ry
I've played al
l my cards
And that's wha
t you've done
too
Nothing more t
o say
No more ace to
play
[Chorus]
The winner tak
es it all
The loser stan
ding small
Beside the vic
tory
That's her des
tiny
[Verse]
I was in your
arms
Thinking I bel
onged there
I figured it m
ade sense
Building me a
fence
Building me a
home
Thinking I'd b
e strong there
But I was a fo
ol
Playing by the
rules
[Pre-Chorus]
The gods may t
hrow a dice
Their minds as
cold as ice
And someone wa
y down here
Loses someone
dear
[Chorus]
The winner tak
es it all
The loser has
to fall
It's simple an
d it's plain
Why should I c
omplain
[Verse]
I don't want t
o talk
If it makes yo
u feel sad
And I understa
nd
You've come to
shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes yo
u feel bad
Seeing me so t
ense
No self-confid
ence
[Pre-Chorus]
The judges wil
l decide
The likes of m
e abide
Spectators of
the show
Always staying
low
The game is on
again
A lover or a f
riend
A big thing or
a small
The winner tak
es it all
[Outro]
The winner tak
es it all
mmmmh mmmmmh
The winner tak
es it all
The winner tak
es it all
