"Lottery" lyrics

I'm the king of second chances
But I lost my crown tonight
You only get so many tries
I promise I had good intentions
Walking your heart out on the wire
But it's a long way down this time

They say you win some
You lose some
But I only
Lose some
They say you don't know
What you got 'til
It's gone well
Guess I know now

This love's a lottery
Just another coin in the slot machine
Not what I thought it'd be
I guess if love's a lottery
Sometimes you gotta lose

I tried my luck with someone different
And I confess it's not so bad
If I was smart I wouldn't look back
But you're still here despite the distance
Even an ocean in between
Can't keep you from my memory

And they say you win some
You lose some
Oh, but I only
Lose some
They say you don't know
What you got 'til
It's gone well
Guess I know now

This love's a lottery
Just another coin in the slot machine
Not what I thought it'd be
I guess if love's a lottery
Sometimes you gotta lose

It's gonna work this time I swear
It's gonna work this time
It's gonna work this time
It's gonna work this time I swear
It's gonna work this time
It's gonna work this time, oh

This love's a lottery
Just another coin in the slot machine
Not what I thought it'd be
I guess if love's a lottery
Sometimes you gotta lose, oh

This love's a lottery
Just another coin in the slot machine, oh
Not what I thought it'd be
If love's a lottery
Sometimes you gotta lose
Sometimes you gotta lose
