A Gamblers Game

Love is a gambler’s game
Either way it goes,
You’ll never be the same

I gambled half my pot
And sent out my greatest ship
But unlike what I thought,
Cards of hearts were never flipped

Soon I’m down to metal
But I'll win it just you wait!
I'll get a fortune settle
Maybe she’s just late…

I gambled with nothing left
But gave up my addiction
I found my heart in debt
Afar from my prediction

What a hunch!
‘Love can double money’

Now I’ve loved too much…?
Now isn’t that just funny!
