Endless Refrain - Playing Cards - (Official Lyric Video)

Living For Love - 02.02.25

Eros, Philia, Storge, Pragma, Philautia, Ludas, Agape, love can be conveyed in many different ways. “Living For Love” is a collection of 14 love songs, about the enduring power of genuine love, and how it can transform our lives, when we choose to allow it. Are you living for love?

A heart bleeds onto guitar strings in this raw, emotive track as a man grapples with the pain of betrayal. The sharp sting of loss echoes through the lyrics as he realises he was played like a joker by a woman who chose not to live for love.

Playing Cards Lyrics

A guitar in my hands
And blood on my fingers
But the memories of you
Still lingers

I’ve played these strings
Trying to forget those rings
But I can’t
I just can’t

I was your King
And you were my Queen
But those rings were never seen
Did you only want me for playing poker?
You played me like the Joker

The hand I’m left with
Is not the one I dealt
My heart’s one big welt
Like you took to it with a belt
You never wanted me on your throne
And now my bloody fingers are playing cards alone

You invited me into your bed
Oh how I wish those memories were dead
No matter how much I try to shuffle them away
I keep falling to my knees to pray

That you would make Him your King
Because what you did to me was sin
1 Corinthians 13 was my favourite verse
But you only wanted me for what I could put in your purse

The hand I’m left with is not the one I dealt
My heart’s one big welt, like you took to it with a belt
You never wanted me on your throne
And now my bloody fingers are playing cards alone

Life isn’t a gamble
When you don’t bet against the house
When you know the one who sees all
It’s why I won’t fold, I call.

I call, I write
I pray you’ll see with His sight
You are worth more than you feel
You would feel brand new if
You were wrapped in His seal

I might be left playing cards alone
But I do so with Him on my throne
His love means I’m always flush
Even if I don’t understand double Dutch

The hand I’m left with, is not the one I dealt
My heart’s one big welt, like you took to it with a belt
You never wanted me on your throne
And now my bloody fingers
Have played this song to the bone.
