Love Is a Losing Game
Love's Bitter Melody: A Heart's Lament
Lyrics
(Love is a losing game) love is a losing game
Love is ultimately a game that leads to loss and heartbreak.
(Played by fools)
Foolish individuals engage in this losing game of love.
(Fools in love)
Fools who are in love participate in this losing game.
Hey, heh, yeah, hey
An expression of emotion or frustration.
Oh, no, oh-oh
-Tell me why did your tenderness disappear?
Questioning the disappearance of affection and the uncertainty that crept into the relationship.
I just don't get it
-Tell me when did tomorrow grow so unclear
-And why you let it
-Were the words like forever a lie?
Doubting the sincerity of promises and expressing the pain of betrayal.
I believed them all
-Did you think I wouldn't cry?
-Look into my eyes
A plea for the other person to see the emotional impact of their actions.
Love is a losing game
Reiterating that love is a losing game, marked by the sorrow of those involved.
Played by fools, fools in love
-Losing's a crying shame
-I keep crying over you
Continued expression of the emotional pain and sorrow caused by the failed love.
You were someone that I waited for so long
Reflecting on the significance of the departed person and the loss of something precious.
And now you're leaving
-We're the one thing I had that was right and strong
-To believe in
-Was the heart that you're breaking into
Questioning if the emotions were merely a form of amusement for the other person, expressing regret for not realizing the truth.
A toy to you, something just to pass the time?
-Why was I so blind?
-Love is a losing game
Reiteration of the theme that love is a losing game, accompanied by the pain of losing and crying over the person.
Played by fools, fools in love
-Losing's a crying shame
-And I keep crying over you
Continued expression of the ongoing emotional turmoil caused by the lost love.
Were the words like forever a lie?
Revisiting the pain of broken promises and the emotional impact of the breakup.
I believed them all
-Did you think I wouldn't cry?
-Look into my eyes
-Love is a losing game
Repetition of the idea that love is a losing game, and the singer keeps crying over the lost love.
