THE GAMBLE

If the world is all a stage
And everyone has a part to play
Do the stories ever change?
The roles reversed? The plot rewritten?

I never expected this from me.
I always assumed I'd take the high ground
Be the one to love then leave.
Without pause. Without loss.

now I'm losing everything
now I see the only thing
that love brings is pain when you're unprepared.

Wanting to believe I'm wrong.
Only knowing all along
When it comes to your heart there is always a chance it will break.
The gamble that everyone takes.
The gamble that everyone takes.

I heard of the role you played.
Thought I'd be the perfect match for you.
Complications all erased. Or so I thought (or so I thought)

I never expected this from me
Never did believe the rules could change
Finding when you went to leave.
You took my heart (you took a piece of ) my heart.

Chorus

I stand as proof
That you can plan for everything
But you won't win
To fall in love
The risk you take
It that a bet worth making?

chorus
