The House Always Wins

(álbum: This Is Where I Live - 2016)

Once I loved a woman
Once we shared a name
But the tide pulled us under
And now we can't get up again

Well, I wish someone had told me
You're going to sink before you swim
You make take a couple of rounds
But the house always wins

I thought our love would last forever
We would raise a family
But the cards were dealt against us
It was never meant to be

When love walks out and leaves you
Loneliness steps in
You make take a couple of rounds
But the house always wins

When I sat down at the table
I was a younger man
I thought I had the whole world
Wrapped up in my hands

I wished someone had told me
You're going to pay for all of your sins
You can take a couple of rounds
You can take a couple of rounds
You may take a couple of rounds
You may take a couple of rounds
You may take a couple of rounds
But the house, the house, always wins
