I’ve bet on the wrong horse,
went all in on the wrong hand

Love is a gamble,
a game I play to win

Stakes so high,
I can’t think straight

Russian roulette with bullets
aimed straight at my heart

I know the odds
and yet I still roll the dice

Just one more time…
I lie to myself

Believing this is the last time,
the time I strike gold

Deal me in
