Salt to the wounds

All is fair in love and war
The piper calls the tune
You haven't really played the game
Til you've broken all the rules
So take the best of everything
The worst we can refuse
I can't say if we'll win in the end
But we've got nothing to lose

And when we thought that time stood still
Then changes come too soon
And the songs we hum are out of date
But you can't forget the tune
You pay the price for holding on
When you know it's time to choose
I can't say if we'll win in the end
But we've got nothing to lose

There's nothing to lose now
Like fools we rush in too soon
Two steps back for every one we take
We're adding salt to the wounds
We're adding salt to the wounds

Last to heed the warning signs
That dance before our eyes
And shadows whisper told you so's
Oh how the fools were wise
I'd only learnt to love the girl
When I heard the news I didn't say we'd win in the end
But we had nothing to lose
