"Playing Aces" lyrics

"Playing Aces"

You're playing aces
Still, I'm all in once again
Without a tell, I'm on my game
No hesitation
Just a gambler till the end
So much to prove, I'm on the take

I hope in time that I can be a better man
I cannot fold, I'll take a chance

And if I risked it all
I hope you'll understand
That I had to play my hand
If I give it all
At least I stand a chance
No, I don't want to lose again, bad luck be damned

You call my bluff tonight
I raise you with a smile
To try and change this destiny
I'm running out of time
And praying all the while
Just one more win will set me free

I hope in time that I can be a better man
I cannot fold, I'll take a chance

And if I risked it all
I hope you'll understand
That I had to play my hand
If I give it all
At least I stand a chance
No, I don't want to lose again, bad luck be damned

How many times have I tried?
A river of tears, I have cried
And though I have been at my worst
It is time for resolve and rebirth

And if I risked it all
I hope you'll understand
That I had to play my hand
If I give it all
At least I stand a chance
No, I don't want to lose again, bad luck be damned

Bad luck be damned
