Bet

I'll bet on you, baby, 'til the day I die

I'd say let's get married, but that made you cry

I'll bet on you, darlin' 'til the day we part

But I hope that I kick first, 'cause it'd break my little heart

I'll bet on you, sweetheart, like a game of cards

And if I lose my hand, I'm sure it's worth the charge

To love and to loss is worth the cost

So I'm wagering forever just to be in your arms

I'm playing with fire

In the sense, I feel warm

And I swear to fucking God, I'll weather the storms

I'm running the numbers and counting the days

Until you tack on my made-up last name

If this won't convince you to take on the part

My piano's already wearing your name in a heart

If this overwhelms you and you fade away

Just please be kind, I see my scar every fucking day

You stitched up my forehead

And made my house home

Now every chair I sit in, it feels just like a throne

My words fail me daily to show where I stand

But good God took on new meaning when you tattooed it on my hand

I'm playing with fire

In the sense, I feel warm

And I swear to fucking God, I'll weather the storms

I'm running the numbers and counting the days

Until you tack on my made-up last name
