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.
