You walked in

My life rose to applaud

I thought, "I can't win”

“Love is more than I can afford"

I'm a man who hates to lose

And love wants everything, everything

Tonight you made me choose

I thought I was a lion, never needed anyone

I took just what I wanted and I was gone

I thought I was a castle

But the walls came tumbling down

You taught me how to win

By losing everything

Fish can fly

There are fires under the sea

Strong men cry

Now you've made a strong man of me

Well, I knew I'd never find love

But once they knew the world was flat

But it ain't like that

A wise man found the circle

You made this unbeliever believe that love is real

You made me see the power of love to heal

You conquered my defences

You washed my fears away

You taught me how to win

By losing everything

How long can you run from the dream

That you long to come true

And I spent my whole life searching for you

How long just surviving

My life not arriving

Love is a game where the winner has to lose

Love is a game I've been losing without you

When I die

And I will, ‘cause all creatures do

Please don't cry

‘Cause I found the answer in you

I'm a man who hates to lose

And love wants everything, everything

Tonight you made me choose

You made this unbeliever believe that love is real

You made me see the power of love to heal

You conquered my defences

You washed my fears away

You taught me how to win

By losing everything
