Lyrics

Anytime 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, I 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 a hard way to go
When I didn't know when to leave
And if you knew all along
Baby, you weren't tellin' me
Now I know what I could live without
I'm headed down the right road now
Still believing in the way
That a real love is meant to be
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
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
Walking back into my life
(Ooh, walking away a winner)
Walking back into my life
(Ooh, walking away a winner)
