Elton John - Nobody Wins lyrics

They must have loved each other once

But that was many years ago

And by the time I came along

Things were already going wrong

I felt the pain in their pretence

The side they tried hard not to show

But through the simple eyes of youth

It wasn't hard to see the truth

And in the end nobody wins

When love begins to fall apart

And it's the innocent who pay

When broken dreams get in the way

The game begins, the game nobody wins

They must have loved each other once

Before the magic slipped away

And as their life became a lie

What love remained began to die

I used to hide beneath the sheets

I prayed that time would find a way

But with the passing of the years

I watched as laughter turned to tears

We used to love each other once

With all the passion we possessed

But people change as time goes by

Some feelings grow while others die

But if we learn from what we see

And face the truth while we still can

Then, though the passion may be gone

Some kind of love can still live on
