I hate gambling
But I was handed a full house
The swords on the cards sliced open my palms
And all I could do was bleed on the money I'd won

And everyone was confused
Didn't know why I was blue
Couldn't show them my wounds
Had to bluff after the game
Knowing it wasn’t the same
I put a smile on my face

'Cause I looked like I owned the ocean
After twenty years of staring at the sea
And all I could think about was the sand at the bottom
And how I wished that it would bury me
And how the speed of light is far too fast to barrel into a tidal wave
Last- I cried enough to make the Pacific blush
Now hear me say

I hate gambling
But I was handed a full house
Lost an ace in the deck
Don’t know how I'll get around to this

And everyone was confused
Didn't know why I was blue
Couldn’t show them my wounds
Had to bluff after the game
Knowing it wasn't the same
I put a smile on my face
'Cause I looked like I owned the ocean
After twenty years of staring at the sea
And all I could think about was the sand at the bottom
And how I wished that it would bury me
And how the speed of light is far too fast to barrel into a tidal wave
Last night I cried enough to make the Pacific blush
Now hear me say

I'm sorry (x7)

'Cause I looked like I owned the ocean
After twenty years of staring at the sea
And all I could think about was the sand at the bottom
And how I wished that it would bury me!
And how the speed of light is far too fast to barrel into a tidal wave
Last night I cried enough to make the Pacific blush

I'm sorry (x4)
