[Verse 1] You gave your hours to a hollow grin Signed your name where the con begins I see the spark, then the smoke, then the myth You built a bridge and they pulled the bridge You fed the wolf with a silver spoon He ate your moon, left you in the room You kept score while they kept split Paper hands in a velvet pit All that effort, all that air Wrong address, wrong prayer You watered weeds, then called it growth Now the whole garden knows [Pre-Chorus] You were rich in the trying Broke in the finding One more chance, then the chain snapped Still you stayed, still you went back [Chorus] Bad bets, bad bets You keep cashing in regret Bad bets, bad bets Time don’t pay you back yet Bad bets, bad bets Fool me once, then fool me less Bad bets, bad bets Heart on fire, pocket wrecked [Verse 2] They wore need like a borrowed chain Talked in gold, moved in rust and rain Every promise had a hidden seam Every sweet word was a counterfeit beam You kept showing up, clocked in, played kind They kept shopping for the next decline You were all in, they were on the fence Now the silence feels expensive That ain’t love, that’s leverage That ain’t trust, that’s debt You were planting winter in a summer field Wonder why it never caught yield [Pre-Chorus] You were rich in the trying Broke in the finding One more chance, then the chain snapped Still you stayed, still you went back [Chorus] Bad bets, bad bets You keep cashing in regret Bad bets, bad bets Time don’t pay you back yet Bad bets, bad bets Fool me once, then fool me less Bad bets, bad bets Heart on fire, pocket wrecked [Bridge] Cut the cord, let it fall Stop buying every empty call If the face don’t fit the flame Why keep feeding the same old name? [Chorus] Bad bets, bad bets You keep cashing in regret Bad bets, bad bets Time don’t pay you back yet Bad bets, bad bets Fool me once, then fool me less Bad bets, bad bets Heart on fire, pocket wrecked
