Lyrics
Any time love is on the table
The stakes are high
But I thought this was love
So I laid it all on the line
You nearly took everything I had
Never knew I could hurt so bad
But at least I left with every piece of this heart of mine
I'm walking away a winner
I'm walking away from a losing game
With my pride intact and my vision back, I can say
I know where I'm going
And I know I'll be alright
I'm walking away a winner
Walking back into my life
It was a hard way to go
And I didn't know when to leave
And if you knew all along, baby
You weren't telling me
Now I know I could live or die
I'm heading down the right road now
Still believing in a way
That a real love is meant to be
I'm walking away a winner
I'm walking away from a losing game
With my pride intact and my vision back, I can say
I know where I'm going
And I know I'll be alright
I'm walking away a winner
Walking back into my life
I'm walking away a winner
I'm walking away from a losing game
With my pride intact and my vision back, I can say
I know where I'm going
And I know I'll be alright
I'm walking away a winner
Walking back into my life
Walking back into my life (walking away a winner)
Walking back into my life (ooh, walking away a winner)
