Any time love is on the table the stakes are high
And I thought this was love so I laid it all on the line
You nearly took everything I had never knew I could hurt so bad
But at least I left with every piece of this heart of mine
I'm walking away a winner walking away from a losing game
With my pride intact and my vision back I can say
I know where I'm going and I know I'll be alright
I'm walking away a winner walking back into my life
It was hard way to go when I didn't know when to leave
And if you knew all along baby you weren't telling me
Now I know what I can live without I'm headin' down the right road now
Still believing in the way that a real love is meant to be
I'm walking away a winner...
[ guitar ]
I'm walking away a winner...
Walking back into my life (walking away a winner) walking back into my life
