Freedom in my soul

Title: The Only Game I Lose

Verse 1

Out here in the open, the world is wide and free

But it feels like a prison when you’re not next to me

I remember the balcony, freezing in the air

Minus forty on the edge, but I didn't care

The winter had a warmth to it, a fire in the chill

Because you were standing by me, and the world was standing still.

Chorus

Marielou, my heart is filled with only you

I love this world, but it’s a darker shade of blue

I couldn’t stop loving you, even if I tried

Prison seems like freedom with this emptiness inside

Yeah, prison seems like freedom when I'm out here alone.

Verse 2

I used to sit across from you, the pieces on the board

Every move was calculated, every win secured

I knew the game, I knew the rules, I always held the crown

Never thought a single king could come tumbling down

But the chessboard is empty now, the strategy is gone

And I’m only losing since the moment you were gone.

Chorus

Marielou, my heart is filled with only you

I love this world, but it’s a darker shade of blue

I couldn’t stop loving you, even if I tried

Prison seems like freedom with this emptiness inside

Yeah, prison seems like freedom when I'm out here alone.

Outro

I always won the game before...

But now I'm only losing.

Marielou, I'm sitting here blue.

Without you.
