I was sitting cut, spitting blood
With my pride collapsed
Sickened to the gut, lit one up
Let my mind relax
I once thought that I could walk away
But I was fitted up, slid 'n' shut
You knew I'd react
I know I'll never get the last laugh
Only the blame
And I should never let my dark heart
Blacken my name
But I'm addicted to the hard part of
Playing the game
And never settle for a draw
But you're forever levelling the score
Doubled up and clawing the floor
As the comedown came
Shivering like a who*e turning tricks
In the London rain
I once thought that I could walk away
Never should have fought in your war
In that dumbed down state
I know I'll never get the last laugh
Only the blame
And I should never let my dark heart
Blacken my name
But I'm addicted to the hard part of
Playing the game
And never settle for a draw
But you're forever levelling the score
Still living with the curse
We've a hell of a history
I'm driven by a thirst
For your delicate twist
For bringing out my worst
You're the first on my list
You got me 'cause you knew I wouldn't run
I know I'll never get the last laugh
Only the shame
That I should ever let my dark heart
Blacken my name
But I'm addicted to the hard part of
Playing the game
And never settle for a draw
But you're forever levelling the score
