i gambled my heart away
when i felt like he was the one,i gambled my heart away
when i was blinded by the inevitable fact
that he would never commit to me
when i was so careless that i could pay
no attention to my fragile,
soft
pulsating
little heart,
and i was so reckless that i crushed it
by my own self
with my two own handshow did i expect to take care of his when i murdered mine?
i gambled my heart away
for someone who didn't deserve my attention,
for someone who didn't deserve my time
and affectioni gambled my heart away
because i thought i could destroy his.
