She gambled

She gambled on you She walked a bridge too far You didn't feel it true It was too high a bar She could have tried talking That way she would've known Behind your infatuation Real affection hadn't grown She thought there was a bond A mystical dream But the wizard lost his wand You were just a prop in the scene She dreamed of a fire You by her side But love was a liar Reason should guide. She raised the stake But gambling's a sin with two eyes on the snake The house has to win Now it’s too late To rewrite the part She wagered on fate— Then embittered her heart I know we all get burnt But I wish it hadn't gone so far Lessons have to be learnt Only Fate held the cards.

"There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun/and it's been the ruin of many a poor (gal) and God I know I'm one..." Gambling on a loser bites every time. Ouch!

losers drag other people down. I looked for lyrics on the topic - this is just on gambling by Randy Travis: Love is a gamble It's a chance that you take To lay your heart down And you bet it won't break You must shake off those blues And just remember you got nothing to lose
