The Score Lyrics

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 whore 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 cos 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.
