We're Losing

You didn't love me the way you promised me you would
You done me one too many times and now I'm done for good
I've taken all the high roads but now I'm running out of gas
I put my head down on the chopping block and handed you the axe

If love is just a game
We're both on the same team
And we're losing

I could tell you stories about spots on a leopard's skin
Or wolves that dressed up just like sheep so the shepherd let 'em in
I could sing for hours all the songs you used to love
I know you know every word but you won't sing along

If love is just a game
We're both on the same team
And we're losing

I could give you loving that'd burn right through your skin
Tear you into pieces and then make you whole again
But I ain't got the money and you ain't got the time
A good soldier saves the wounded but he leaves the dead behind

If love is war
What are we even fighting for
But if love is just a game
We're both on the same team
Either way
And we're losing
