One Less Victory - Robin Trower

Deep in this hollow shell, below the conscious

You saw something more worthwhile in me

Tainted with too much self, a self too precious

I never tried to earn your belief

Now the truth hits home, a slap in the face

You really had to find your own space

I’m gonna dance away the hurt inside

I’m gonna dance away, babe

Threw my chance away, one more love denied

One less victory to claim, victory to claim

I could not find the grace in soul of mine

But you must have seen some trace in me

You lived with this bitter taste time after time

I know that you need someone more complete

Who’s gonna take the blame, I know I should

And learn through this sense of shame some good

I’m gonna dance away the hurt inside

I’m gonna dance away, babe

Threw my chance away, one more love denied

One less victory to claim, victory to claim

Who’s gonna take the blame, I know I should

And learn through this sense of shame some good

I’m gonna dance away the hurt inside

I’m gonna dance away, babe

Threw my chance away, one more love denied

One less victory to claim, victory to claim

Threw my chance away, one more love denied

One less victory to claim, victory to claim
