Lyrics

[00:31.84] I don't wanna talk
[00:35.82] About things we've gone through
[00:40.00] Though it's hurting me
[00:43.24] Now it's history
[00:47.95] I've played all my cards
[00:51.93] And that's what you've done too
[00:55.87] Nothing more to say
[00:59.85] No more ace to play
[01:02.85]
[01:03.23] The winner takes it all
[01:07.85] The loser's standing small
[01:10.96] Beside the victory
[01:14.98] That's her destiny
[01:18.60]
[01:19.08] I was in your arms
[01:22.87] Thinking I belonged there
[01:26.12] I figured it made sense
[01:30.71] Building me a fence
[01:34.82] Building me a home
[01:37.82] Thinking I'd be strong there
[01:41.87] But I was a fool
[01:45.67] Playing by the rules
[01:48.10]
[01:49.85] The gods may throw the dice
[01:52.98] Their minds as cold as ice
[01:56.94] And someone way down here
[02:00.94] Loses someone dear
[02:04.98] The winner takes it all
[02:08.87] The loser has to fall
[02:12.69] It's simple and it's plain
[02:15.99] Why should I complain?
[02:18.97]
[02:19.93] But tell me does she kiss
[02:23.96] Like I used to kiss you?
[02:27.84] Does it feel the same
[02:31.82] When she calls your name?
[02:34.99] Somewhere deep inside
[02:39.56] You must know I miss you
[02:43.00] But what can I say?
[02:46.75] Rules must be obeyed
[02:49.76]
[02:50.82] The judges will decide
[02:54.58] The likes of me abide
[02:58.00] Spectators of the show
[03:02.00] Always staying low
[03:05.75] The game is on again
[03:09.67] A lover or a friend
[03:12.94] A big thing or a small
[03:16.92] The winner takes it all
[03:20.27]
[03:22.94] I don't wanna talk
[03:26.91] If it makes you feel sad
[03:30.90] And I understand
[03:33.88] You've come to shake my hand
[03:37.93] I apologize
[03:41.95] If it makes you feel bad
[03:45.93] Seeing me so tense
[03:50.00] No self-confidence
[03:52.00] But you see
[03:54.05] The winner takes it all
[04:00.81] The winner takes it all
[04:09.26]
[04:10.02] So the winner takes it all
[04:17.03] And the loser has to fall
[04:25.00] Throw a dice, cold as ice
[04:32.23] Way down here, someone dear
[04:40.02] Takes it all, has to fall
[04:48.00] It seems plain to me
