I guess I knew that day I don't know why I tried Knew you weren't the one I guess I was too afraid I was too shy to turn away a woman on the run to the hotel room beside the bed You held your telephone Your hair was perfect And the curtains were drawn Our faces they burned in the sun Worse than any fantasy Neither of us were ever in love But it's a fools game And I'm a fool for love It's a fool's game but I was born to lose anyway So what the fuck I guess I like all that pain Maybe I just wanted you to lose myself some more Loving you to lose So somebody else can use you a little more In a hotel room beside the bed You held your phone and your hair was perfect The curtains were drawn and our faces they burned in the sun Worse than a fantasy Were either of us ever in love But its a fools game and im a fool for love Its a fool's game and I was born to lose anyway Its a fool's game and I am a fool for love Its a fool's game and I was born to lose anyway So what the fuck Elbow up
