I Bet
I bet you wouldn’t love me this way
If you knew about the voices inside my head
I’ll wager you wouldn’t gaze at me as I lay
If you knew I was already half dead.
I’ll bet your caress would turn to ash
If you realized my scars were from a sin.
I’ll wager your heart would tumble and crash.
If you knew how deep I was in.
I really do bet your eyes would hold disgust
If you knew the pain was showing.
I’ll surely wager your kisses would die with distrust
If you realized the grief was flowing.
I’ll throw my dice and see
What you find in me.
I’ll lay my cards down.
I lay my cards down.
