Cold Eyed Stare

[Verse 1] We keep score in the kitchen, never say the numbers out loud Your coffee sits cold by the sink, mine gone bitter somehow You read me like a dog-eared page, I fold up, corner torn I try to keep it casual, but we both know what we’re on [Pre-Chorus] One more look and the room goes still Like a deck cut sharp and a hand gone ill You hold your tongue, I hold my breath We know the rules, we just hate the test [Chorus] Bet you wish you could, gun me down with that, cold eyed stare Pull the trigger from across the room like, I wouldn’t care We keep playing like the damage don’t show when we’re standing there Two bad bets, two locked doors, one cracked card in the air Bet you wish you could, gun me down with that, cold eyed stare [Verse 2] I’ve seen that look in a back room game, when the dealer knows the cheat You never bluff with your whole face, just that quiet, icy sheet I keep coming back to the table, stack my pride in the light You read every move I make before I make it right [Pre-Chorus] One more look and the whole place hums Like a page turned fast or a loaded gun You call my hand, I call your bluff We never quit, we only double up [Chorus] Bet you wish you could, gun me down with that, cold eyed stare Pull the trigger from across the room like, I wouldn’t care We keep playing like the damage don’t show when we’re standing there Two bad bets, two locked doors, one cracked card in the air Bet you wish you could, gun me down with that, cold eyed stare [Bridge] Maybe we’re a bad hand dealt on a long, dark night Maybe we’re the last two names still circling the fight I don’t leave, you don’t fold We just sit there, mean and cold [Final Chorus] Bet you wish you could, gun me down with that, cold eyed stare Pull the trigger from across the room like, I wouldn’t care We keep playing like the damage don’t show when we’re standing there Two bad bets, two locked doors, one cracked card in the air Bet you wish you could, gun me down with that, cold eyed stare
