Gambling With Time

For the moment, I’m fine on my own Searching for the right one for me But I don’t want to die all alone That’s the moral of the whole story I’d give anything to meet my soul mate I wonder what she’s doing now. Will she appear before it’s too late? Or have I passed her by somehow? I’m so in love with this fairy tale This gamble with no guarantee A waiting game with my heart for sale The chance might never come for me I pray you put these thoughts to sleep And put me out of my misery But only if we connect real deep Can you partake in this blinded dream I’ll share with you the best of my days Conquering trials with smiles The plan’s flaw is the error of my ways Going through life in denial If I should cause the soul’s demise I extend my sincerest apologue For if I should fall short in the wake of your eyes I’ll end a love that wasn’t to be Though lonely stats and divorce rates Say sole mates are in huge demand It’s interesting how we tempt fate And risk the hearts that love commands The ones we hurt land on their feet Stronger, they don’t just curl up and die They vow to never admit defeat These people are in short supply
