The Bet

We were just kids when we met

And it all started as a bet

I promised you would be mine

you sweared I had lost my mind

I wanted to prove you wrong

You could’ve played along

Instead you just rolled your eyes

Saying you would’ve rather die

To you it was just a game

and you thought it was lame

in my head it was clear as day

you would be mine someday

As time passed I got tired

of waiting for your desire

for you to look me the same way

I longed for you from far away

I snapped out of the haze

back into my own life

forgetting the mess you made

and not even saying goodbye

To you it was just a game

and you thought it was lame

in my head it was clear as day

you would be mine someday

Now you suddenly realize

That life without me is hard

And you want to apologize

But baby, I have left you behind

You have finally won the bet

Fair and square, like a roulette

So don’t you dare forget

I am no longer yours to get

To you it was just a game

and you thought it was lame

in my head it was clear as day

you would be mine someday

Now you suddenly realize

That life without me is hard

And you want to apologize

But baby, I won’t kiss you goodbye
