I know she's riding for the fall

She's a death trap when used in war

How can you tell the beginning from the end

There's something in her eyes she can't pretend



I promised myself that I would try to make her stay

But we play a losing game

I know when the time has come

'cause the number's growing bad 

And I don't believe that you can



There's nothing there



You hold the pistol to my head

'cause if I can't live you want me dead

So many people flowing with the dream

Well tell me do they know what it means to believe



I promised myself that I would try to make her stay

But we play a losing game

I know when the time has come

'cause the number's growing bad 

And I don't believe that you can



I've got nothing more to say

Where's that ace to play

Our music gets better

But it can't last forever

But if we play something else 

Something without grace

I don't like to explain

It will take away the pain



I promised myself that I would try to make her stay

But we play a losing game

I know when the time has come

'cause the number's growing bad 

And I don't believe that you can



We say that we take it day by day

But it won't erase the pain

I promised myself that I would stay

But there's nothing left to say

It's a losing game
