Gambling Blind

It's easy to risk it all when you've got nothing left to risk
Another bottle down and I'm down to my last chip
All In was scary then, but I still wish that I'd have
Gone that way, but I didn't, and now I've lost it all again.

Went from
Happy to sad the moment that
The River came in
Turn now, and I see
All the troubles that I'm in
She left me now, dusty road
I've got friends, but I'm still alone.

Don't know the difference between
Anorexia and "I'm just not hungry."
People say I'm losing, but
Truth is that I don't feel skinny.

Don't know the difference between confusion and
Life isn't the way that it seems
To be, and I don't understand
Why she can
Do whatever she wants
While I'm still dying
Inside, but I
Still don't see
What's the problem
With a good old "You And Me."

Happy to sad the moment that
The River came in
Turn now, and I see
All the troubles that I'm in
Wishing to go back
Just so that I may try it all again.

Don't know the difference between depression and
This world's just better without me
Emo, but I don't cut myself
Goth, but not a black that you can see
Sad, but I'm laughing
Happy, but I'm crying
You're in my arms, everyday
But still, my dear
You are good-bying.

Don't know the difference between
"See you later," and
"You're in my dreams"
