Brandi Carlile
The Winner’s Game
[Verse 1]
Love is a winner's game
No one to thank and no one to blame
Ain't always easy to play by the rules
When you start keeping score, that's when you lose
I tell you, love is a winner's game

[Chorus]
And some say death is just out cause for sinning
Some see the end, some see the beginning
We'd find our way through the joy and the pain of love
Oh, love
Love is a winner's game

[Verse 2]
Hate is a poor man's drink
It fills you up before you can think
It only mean to leave you empty inside
And the deeper it fills you, the harder you fight
I tell you, hate is a poor man's drink

[Chorus]
And some say death is just out cause for sinning
Some see the end, some see the beginning
We'd find our way through the joy and the pain of love
Oh, love
Love is a winner's game
[Verse 3]
You know life, it's a carnival ride
Rode in the middle and the ends are tied
You take a drag and you go for a stroll
When your time runs out, the brake man pulls
Because life is a carnival ride

[Chorus]
And some say death is just out cause for sinning
Some see the end, some see the beginning
We'd find our way through the joy and the pain of love
Oh, love

[Chorus]
Some say death is just out cause for sinning
Some see the end, some see the beginning
We'd find our way through the joy and the pain of love
Oh, love
Love is a winner's game
