"Sad Old Song" lyrics

"Sad Old Song"

Well I'm not much of a gambling man
But I waited for so long
I held my hand, played my cards all wrong
I thought I was gonna be the lucky one
But as it turns out, you were burnt out
And all at once it came crashing down

I stay out late with my friends
And I'll drink to get drunk and high till I'm faded
Then I'll wake up in an empty bed
With empty thoughts running through my head
And I don't seem to mind (are you ok)
But then again
I seem to get myself wrong all the time (are you ok)
You see love is a game and it has its ways
And I seem to play my cards all wrong (Darlin' I miss you)
But at least from you I've gained a sad old song

The way the lights shines reminds me of you
And when I close my eyes
You're even in the darkness too
If I could take back all those fights
And we'd make up then we'd break up
Now I sit and think about
All the times that we made love
Was it wrong, was it right
Did we do the best things for our lives
If we could turn back time to the night that we first met
I took my chance and put it all on read

And I did not seem to mind (I'm not ok)
But then again I seem to get my shit wrong
All the time (I guess that's ok)
You see love is a game and it has its ways
And I seem to play my cards all wrong (Darlin' I miss you)
But at least from you I've gained a sad old song

(But I'm not ok)

I stay out late with my friends
And I'll drink to get drunk and high till I'm faded
Then I'll wake up in an empty bed
With empty thoughts running through my head
And I don't seem to mind
But then again I seem to get myself wrong all the time
You see love is a game and it has its ways
And I seem to play my cards all wrong
But at least from you I've gained a sad old song
