As I lose the love of my life I had to lose, I had to lose, I wouldn’t choose to step out of the fight, I had to lose, I had to lose. Just to find a way to be myself I had to lose, I had to lose, so I tried ’til I had nothing left, I had to lose, I had to lose*
Back under the grey sky, take a little of my time to get clear. 
Back in my own bed, all alone in my head playing solitaire.
It was time to give up keeping score, I had to lose, I had to lose, just to find what I was fighting for, I had to lose, I had to lose. 
Back under the grey sky, take a little of my time to get clear. 
Back in my own head, all alone in my bed playing solitaire. 
As I lose the love of my life I had to lose, I had to lose, I wouldn’t choose to step out of the fight, I had to lose, I had to lose.
