Gambling (Even if I Win this Hand)

Even If I Win This Hand

(Gambling)

I gave you tons of chances but you made the same mistakes
And I'm not ready to jump into love when I know that I'll break;
You had to prove to me you love me but you proved that you do not
And so the best for both of us is just to leave with what we've got.

It's better to quit while ahead --not gamble to the hands of debt;--
I know I've lost a lot, although, I still have something left
And I am not ready to lose all that I've worked so hard to gain
And though there may be so much pleasure, all I seem to see is pain.

It's too late to apologize, you'll never ever get me back,
And baby, I gave it my all, but it's the effort that you lack.
Don't blame me for the outcome of our cold and failed, unjust romance,
--I tried to teach you all the moves;
the truth is, you just cannot dance.

So I am giving up and giving in while I am still ahead
And I won't cry for us because I know I gave my all and did my best;
--you just don't care enough for me to keep on gambling my cash,
and even if I win this hand, I'm never ever coming back.

Thanks for reading!
