Winner Take Nothing

Lyrics

I'm living at the Ace
 You're sleeping late in our apartment
 It's just been 808s for the eight days since our restart went heartbreak
 I am afraid, I've been all in on works and not grace
 Thought we'd invest and save
 But it's all rigged, a gamble and a waste
 Winner take nothing
 Fighting we can only lose
 Winner take nothing
 Killing me and killing you
 'Cause you and me are the same
 Now I'm shining like tears in the rain
 And you're shining like fifteen of fame, babe
 But our diamonds blooded
 Nickel dull and so opaque
 No trophy, no cake
 Winner take nothing
 I want it all and I want it more
 Baby, I wanted our dream
 And when you're no longer asleep
 We'll go to Five Leaves
 I built my life around our love to ground your dreamworld
 I held so tight
 But I never could give you enough
 Winner take nothing
 Fighting we can only lose
 Winner take nothing
 Killing me and killing you
 'Cause you and me are the same
 Now I'm shining like tears in the rain
 And you're shining like fifteen of fame, babe
 But our diamonds blooded
 Nickel dull and so opaque
 No trophy, no cake
 Winner take nothing
 Winner take
 Nothing
 Winner take
 Nothing
 Winner take
 We spent all those years in McCarren
 Watching the green leaves turn brown again
 We walked on Manhattan Ave. while the Dollar Tree turned New American
 And as much as I'd like to say we both won
 As much as I'd like to say I'm grateful for the experience
 That we've grown together and bettered each other
 And built the city with one another
 The truth is you'd sell out the waterfront for condos and malls
 I'd throw the dice with the rest of 'em
 Down on Broad Street and Wall
 This has turned me against myself
 In losing you, I lost myself
 That's the why the winner takes nothing else
 Winner take nothing
 Fighting we can only lose
 Winner take nothing
 Killing me and killing you
 'Cause you and me are the same
 Now I'm shining like tears in the rain
 And you're shining like fifteen of fame, babe
 But our diamonds blooded
 Nickel dull and so opaque
 No trophy, no cake
 Winner take
 Nothing
 Fighting we can only lose
 Winner take
 Nothing
 Winner take
 Nothing
 Killing me and killing you
 Winner take
 Nothing
 Winner take
 Nothing
 Now I'm shining like tears in the rain
 Winner take
 Nothing
 And you're shining like fifteen of fame, babe
 Winner take
 Nothing
 Nickel dull and so opaque
 Winner take
 Nothing
 Winner take nothing
