Play to Lose

Oh love
You've driven them all away
You've chased them all to the edge of the board, but
you couldn't finish the game
To be frank you've got to be free
Without the borders to keep you in
It ain't too late to find what you might've been
But you play to lose
and what a way to waste your time
You pick up the fallen pieces
only to place them all back in a line
You play to lose
Could you take this as a sign
Kick the chair under
ain't it a wonder he gave you the rope this time
You always pick the wrong 'uns
I'm not saying that I pick them right
But you make it your aim to pick up a new flame
It seems to me that you picked a fight
To be blunt you have to be sharp
and maybe think a few moves ahead
and try not to cry when your beginnings come to an end
You play to lose
and what a way to waste your time
You pick up the fallen pieces
only to place them all back in a line
You play to lose
Could you take this as a sign
Kick the chair under
ain't it a wonder he gave you the rope this time
You play to lose
and what a way to waste your time
You pick up the fallen pieces
only to place them all back in a line
You play to lose
Could you take this as a sign
Kick the chair under
ain't it a wonder he gave you the rope this time
Kick the chair under
ain't it a wonder he gave you the rope this time
