The Winner Can Lose the Prize

ABOUT THE SONG 
This song was written around 2005 or 2006. It was written about the same couple that I wrote about in my song “My Last Goodbye”. That song was written from the guy’s perspective whereas this song was written from the girl’s perspective. The verses hint toward a secret that has led to the downfall of their once strong and promising relationship. The choruses are basically the girl telling him that she doesn’t belong to him anymore due to the circumstances that have occurred which have hurt her. This song is a bonus track on my Last One Standing EP.

Verse 1: 
Windows are closed
But doors are always open
The silence you spoke
Was as bountiful as nothingAnd the air is cold
But somehow I stay warm
The time between is torn

Chorus:
And I speak for you
When I say the things you’re thinking
That you don’t have the courage to
And if you get the nerve
To bash me with your little white lies
Just remember
The winner can lose the prize…

Verse 2:
Secrets impose
To steal a fate once roaring with thunder
Now are disclosed
And all that we’ve worked for
Is bound to fall underAnd plagiarized
Are the words you used to win me over
oooh, Game Over

Chorus:
And I speak for you
When I say the things you’re thinking
That you don’t have the courage to
And if you get the nerve
To bash me with your little white lies
Just remember
The winner can lose the prize…
Just remember
The winner can lose the prize…

Bridge:
We’re playin with fire
We’re treddin in water
And all that we’ve worked for
Is bound to fall under
The things that we do
We put ourselves
For Love

Chorus:
And I speak for you
When I say the things you’re thinking
That you don’t have the courage to
And if you get the nerve
To bash me with your little white lies
Just remember
The winner can lose the prize…
Just remember
The winner can lose the prize…
