Lost the Bet by Girard
Lost the Bet
Verse 1
I placed my cards on the table,
With hope that we’d prevail,
But the odds were stacked against me,
And the dream began to pale.
Pre-Chorus
In the silence of the night,
I’m haunted by the choices,
Whispers of a future
That’s slipping through my fingers.
Chorus
I lost the bet, and the price is steep,
In the shadows of regret, I weep,
Every promise, every chance,
Faded with a single glance.
Lost the bet, and now I’m here,
With a heart so full of fear,
In the echoes of what could have been,
I’m drowning in this sorrowed sin.
Verse 2
I thought the gamble would pay off,
In the gamble of our dreams,
But the stakes were much too high,
And it tore at all the seams.
Pre-Chorus
In the silence of the night,
I’m lost in past decisions,
Haunted by the moments
That slipped through my ambitions.
Chorus
I lost the bet, and the price is steep,
In the shadows of regret, I weep,
Every promise, every chance,
Faded with a single glance.
Lost the bet, and now I’m here,
With a heart so full of fear,
In the echoes of what could have been,
I’m drowning in this sorrowed sin.
Bridge
When the chips are down and the lights go dim,
And I’m left alone with the ghosts within,
I’ll remember the chances I never took,
And the pages of a story that no one ever looked.
Chorus
I lost the bet, and the price is steep,
In the shadows of regret, I weep,
Every promise, every chance,
Faded with a single glance.
Lost the bet, and now I’m here,
With a heart so full of fear,
In the echoes of what could have been,
I’m drowning in this sorrowed sin.
Outro
So here I stand, in the aftermath,
With memories of a broken path,
Lost the bet, and I pay the toll,
In the quiet of my broken soul.
