Love's The Losing Game

from Birth Of The Bird by Prince Pheonix

/

about

A song with a story (and a twist) based on the idea of a spark between lovers that ignites a 'flame in their hearts'

A boy falls in love with a girl but due to difficulties they break up. This causes the 'fire' in the boys heart to burn brighter every time he sees this girl but because he's not with her anymore, the flame starts spiralling out of control. The reciprocal love from the girl would have sedated his fire to 'safe' levels, instead the fire burns so brightly that the boy suffers 'fatal heartburn' and is killed due to the fire in his heart burning so brightly for this girl. The girl finds out and her heart bursts open from the feelings she locked away, bringing the boy back to life, as they live happily ever after.

lyrics

Love, it is a terrible thing, when you let it into your heart
All it really does to you, is tear you apart

Can you see that love is bad?
Oh but you’ll never learn
Boys and girls all over the world
Your hearts will burn
‘Cause love’s the losing game

Now I’ve given up on love, I’ve finally seen the light
Now I’ve learned there is no prize, for winning the fight

Can you see that love is bad?
Oh but you’ll never learn
Boys and girls all over the world
Your hearts will burn
‘Cause love’s the losing game

Did you really give your heart to love?
Or was it taken away?
Never to return to you
On a sunny day
You need your heart to live
Primarily to love
But is it all really worth the pain?

Can you see that love is bad?
Oh but you’ll never learn
Boys and girls all over the world
Your hearts will burn (Your hearts will burn)

Burn, burn
(Can you see that love is bad?)
Burn, burn
(Oh but you’ll never learn)
Burn, burn
(Boys and girls all over the world)
Burn
(Your hearts will burn)
Love's the losing game
(Your hearts will burn)
Love's the losing game
