Winner Takes It All

 

 

I’m trying to move on

And your voice won’t let me.

The ringtone on my phone

Is blowing up with our song.

The answering machine still has us talking;

Saying “We’ll be back soon.”

I let myself be fooled by your smile and your eyes

Your sweet voice and long night we used to talk about love

But all that is over

No more sweet talk or hugs

No more love; or at least not seen by the naked eye

 

I am done playing little games

That only end up in your victory

“Winner takes it all” said by my favorite song

And yes, you played all your cards

This time you ran with luck

Luck ever lasting

 

“Winner takes it all”

And I stay in the dark

As a result of losing this game

Were you have all the good cards

All the right things to say
