I’m tired, tired of rolling dice,
I’ve lost the game too many times,
I’ve forfeited my hoping.
Waiting on a love that’s never coming.
I’d rather die than feel again.
Stuck in a roulette of pain,
My losses show who’s to blame.
All I had was this heart
A card that nobody wants, not even me.
Maybe that’s why I give it away so freely.
Taking a chance again
Placing a bet
Just to lose something I never had.
Gamble my heart away
Till I’m broke.
How many games can you lose?
How many hands can you have,
before you realize it’s time to fold.
Too honest for my own good
Who can call my bluff
When the only truth is that
I’m always lying to myself.
Going all in is always a risk
Even if no one calls your bluff
Because the pain of losing
Is heartbreak enough.
I’ll play the fool when it comes to poker,
But no one ever sees that
A abandoned heart always hides
Behind the smile of a joker.
