Death Over a Card Game

Would say sorry But I'm not Yeah, drank too much Whats new? Lost my touch Game of queens got heated Couldn't stay seated Lost my hand, lost my money It wasn't alright honey Not that night Dim lights, Drunken fights I had a bone to pick Losing money makes me sick Look, things were said I know you're dead But I wasn't in my senses not to shoot But I cleaned myself, washed my suit And washed the blood away Would say I'm sorry But I'm not The power in me was glowing And the adrenaline was flowing Didn't mean to let the bullet fly Not because you would die But because I wasn't in my senses But at least now, I can pay my expenses
