Lyrics

I keep my hand hidden from view
A poker face is what's called for with you
I hold my cards tight to my chest
Just one misjudged look, and you'll guess the rest

Look in the glass, reflections of me
My cards lade bare on the table to see
(Look, can't you see me? acting cool, when
Really I'm scared, that this game's unfair)

My cheating eyes are all that you know
Now you're the banker, it's your turn to go
(You could cheat me if you wanted to
I could not think any worse of you
Each way I lose a heart but somehow I lost the art
Of playing these stupid games, you're gonna win again and)

I don't know what to do
I've gambled everything but you still ask for more
I can't afford not to give
Just one more chance, if only for the past
I know it's my last now

Not much to lose, when you've lost it all
But why must you take it so hard when you fall

I'll pay again at your asking price
I must accept it, but your look's like ice
(I've tried to delay to put off the day
It comes clear you don't need me here)

Dragged through the mill numb to it all
Just when I thought it was my turn to call
(I know it is time for me to leave
Turn my worst fears into certainty
But I can't bring myself to leave for somewhere else
Without you forcing me which you won't do which means that
