Loving You Is A Losing Game

[Intro]
Yeah
I kept the score
You kept the secrets
Now look at us
[Verse 1]
You said “forever” by the school gate
Cherry petals on your dark hair, damn, I took the bait
Shared headphones, one phone, all our playlists the same
Didn’t know I was signing up to lose this game
You text “you up?” when you’re bored at two
I run back like a dog, like I’m owned by you
Friends say “bro, she’s cold,” I defend your name
But every time you hold me, you pull away
[Chorus]
Loving you is a losing game
Every kiss, I’m the one in flames
You level up while I fade away
Why do I still press start, press play?
I keep falling, you don’t feel the same
Chasing ghosts in your empty frame
You say “stay,” then you walk away
Loving you is a losing game
[Verse 2]
Late night call, you’re crying in the stairwell
I sprint over, heart broken like a church bell
You say you hate him, I say “you deserve better”
Next morning, you’re smiling in his sweater (damn)
Scroll past photos that you never send
I’m your backup, I’m your “just in case” friend
I bite my tongue ‘cause I can’t complain
I’d rather bleed than not hear your name
[Chorus]
Loving you is a losing game
Every kiss, I’m the one in flames
You level up while I fade away
Why do I still press start, press play?
I keep falling, you don’t feel the same
Chasing ghosts in your empty frame
You say “stay,” then you walk away
Loving you is a losing game
[Bridge]
[beat drops, distant vocal]
If I walk away, would you notice? (would you?)
Or just find another heart to focus?
All my “are u ok?” left on read
All your half-chewed truths in my head
I keep dying just to keep you safe
Who’s gonna save me from this place? (yeah)
[Chorus]
Loving you is a losing game
Every kiss, I’m the one in flames
You level up while I fade away
Why do I still press start, press play?
I keep falling, you don’t feel the same
Chasing ghosts in your empty frame
You say “stay,” then you walk away
Loving you is a losing game
[Outro]
You say “stay,” then you fade to gray
I hit quit, but my heart replays (oh)
Loving you is a losing game
Game over, still I say your name
