Lottery

(album: Close Your Eyes - 2009)

She moved out west because she had to feel the sun
Her little dresses that she wears came with her too
It's complicated but
I'm really just a pawn
Once he's there I cant forget
That I'm all alone.
So

I shoulda known, I shoulda known better that your...
Your cheating heart; it doesn't really matter cause it
Fell apart with all the other irony.

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
And I risked it all to give you away.
And I can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better.

I'll run the record shop if you can go to school.
Take care what you can get
That's the golden rule.
And I can't disguise the colors that you bend
Just when I think it's right,
That's the way it ends.

I shoulda known, I shoulda known better that your...
Your cheating heart; it doesn't really matter cause it
Fell apart with all the other irony.

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
And I risked it all to give you away.
And I can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better.

And I hate my life
So before it starts to go,
Before I die I'd like to let you know
That I can't lie.
So bide your time
And breath another breath
And I'll be done before you say goodbye.

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
And I risked it all to give you away.
And I can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better.

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
And I risked it all to give you away.
And I can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better.
I should've known, I should've known better.

Cause I lost it all...
