The Gambler
The ball dropped in the cold light
dawning on a cold eastern morning
Not shocked - can't be too appalled
when there were so many warnings
I hear you knock; I hear you
unlock my door
I don't want you to have,
have my key anymore
Shoes on but the mailbox is empty
when there could've been something
The well's dry - I'm out of empathy
This shouldn't end with both of us dead
I'd like to help you
but we've been here before
Yes, I'm aware of the stakes
and I can't afford anymore
You're a gambler in need; you're
a gamble indeed
You're a gambler in need, now -
a gamble indeed
I took a walk and I counted all the ways
That I invest and I'm left with
nothing much to show
You're a gambler in need
and I need you to know
Take, take from the ones you
feel you can
Make, make promises unreal and
You break everyone down
Next time I won't be around
dawning on a cold eastern morning
Not shocked - can't be too appalled
when there were so many warnings
I hear you knock; I hear you
unlock my door
I don't want you to have,
have my key anymore
Shoes on but the mailbox is empty
when there could've been something
The well's dry - I'm out of empathy
This shouldn't end with both of us dead
I'd like to help you
but we've been here before
Yes, I'm aware of the stakes
and I can't afford anymore
You're a gambler in need; you're
a gamble indeed
You're a gambler in need, now -
a gamble indeed
I took a walk and I counted all the ways
That I invest and I'm left with
nothing much to show
You're a gambler in need
and I need you to know
Take, take from the ones you
feel you can
Make, make promises unreal and
You break everyone down
Next time I won't be around
