They see the ace of spades hanging from my neck They all just assume that it's signalling death I thought that you'd think that I'm weird But no, you just told me to come here Closer, closer, breathing me in Closer, closer, suffocating. If I had looked a little better, I could have saved all those nights curled up in a sweater Wondering how it all went wrong I really thought that this could be forever, that you wouldn't trick me again Oh, how bad it feels to be wrong. But if you had only listened to what everyone else could see, If you'd looked at what you'd written and told me. You could have had something special but you went bust, Who did I think you were? There's no way that I'll ever trust you again, And if you had played your cards right, you would have had the perfect hand Now, I'm sorry baby, I don't think you understand I'm not a gamble for you or any other man. If you played your cards the way it should have gone You would have hit the jackpot, but your luck is gone, Wasted on other girls and alcohol now, you're falling down, Next time you want me, remember you've got to play your cards, Don't leave them face down, don't fold this relationship now. You see this hand I'm clutching so tightly to my chest? It's my sheild, I've tried to impress you but it's never worked, So now, I give up on ever trying to please, This is just another competition and the way I bite my lip is just to tease I want to make you see, make you think that you're winning with me before I reveal my hand, And there you'll see, you'll see The death card and the Queen of Hearts and I hope it serves as a reminder that you lost me. How does it feel to know, baby? You could have had something special but you went bust, Who did I think you were? There's no way that I'll ever trust you again, And if you had played your cards right, you would have had the perfect hand Now, I'm sorry baby, I don't think you understand I'm not a gamble for you or any other man. If you played your cards the way it should have gone You would have hit the jackpot, but your luck is gone, Wasted on other girls and alcohol now, you're falling down, Next time you want me, remember you've got to play your cards, Don't leave them face down, don't fold this relationship now. How does it feel to lose now in this gambling town? Why couldn't you just know when to stop? You've spiralled down, you're sleeping on the floor now You're in over your head with a debt you can't pay You've lost it all just because you could never play. If you had played your cards right, maybe it would have been different Maybe we'd still be okay. If you had played your cards right, I'd be there with you every step of the way But now I'm leaving, I'm gonna cash my winnings and leave this place, Don't get caught up in gambling with love, baby, if you don't know how to play. You could have had something special but you went bust, Who did I think you were? There's no way that I'll ever trust you again, And if you had played your cards right, you would have had the perfect hand Now, I'm sorry baby, I don't think you understand I'm not a gamble for you or any other man. If you played your cards the way it should have gone You would have hit the jackpot, but your luck is gone, Wasted on other girls and alcohol now, you're falling down, Next time you want me, remember you've got to play your cards, Don't leave them face down, don't fold this relationship now.
