Odds of Love

ODDS OF LOVE

Sometimes the heart can act strangely
And random emotions can lead to mistakes
And a moment of vulnerability
Can result in unnecessary heartbreaks

But sometimes the heart wants what it wants
Even though you know it's not guaranteed
A heart can lead you down a winding road
And if try to slow it down, it would only pick up speed

Sometimes the ride is worth the risk
It's like taking a chance in the lottery
You could either blow a tire around the corner
Or find success and glory

But you didn't expect too much anyway
Because you can't see beyond your eyes
Because many times we think its the truth
Even though we know there are potholes filled with lies

I took that wild ride once a long time ago 
And I never got to reach the end
So in the middle of my journey
I accept that its better to just have her as a friend

You dont always get what you love
And you don't always love what you get
And if you are not careful with your moments
It could turn into years of regrets

The time that could have been used wisely
We let our hearts lead the way
Knowing 75% of darkness is waiting
But the glimmering  hope of finding something keeps us saying " one more day" 
Just one more day

Love is very complicated for some people
And some people don't deserve to be loved
Some people would treat their partners badly,
A good person in today's corrupt world should be considered an angel from above

I tried to bring love into my life
But my heart pulled a blank
It went following a lead
And comes back with an empty tank

The wasteful time I think
But to my heart, it was time well spent
I could scale the walks to her love
So I just settled on having a friend

When the rain falls
It doesn't fall in one place forever
A little patience is needed 
Because there got to be a change of weather

A little adventurous twist
You never know the outcome
It could land you the love of your life
Or leads you to a bottle of rum

That's why chances are made to be taken
And hearts are designed to be broken
And martinis shouldn't be stirred but shaken
And love is a word that should not be easily spoken
 
I keep my lips sealed for now
With my emotions mixed up like a fruit cocktail that was just blend
I didn't ask to win her love today
So for now she is just a friend
