The ball dropped in the cold light dawning on a cold eastern morning Not shocked - can't be too appalled when there were so many warnings I hear you knock; I hear you unlock my door I don't want you to have, have my key anymore Shoes on but the mailbox is empty when there could've been something The well's dry - I'm out of empathy This shouldn't end with both of us dead I'd like to help you but we've been here before Yes, I'm aware of the stakes and I can't afford anymore You're a gambler in need; you're a gamble indeed You're a gambler in need, now - a gamble indeed I took a walk and I counted all the ways That I invest and I'm left with nothing much to show You're a gambler in need and I need you to know Take, take from the ones you feel you can Make, make promises unreal and You break everyone down Next time I won't be around
