Holds The Cards

How often do I cross your mind?

I’ve probably thought of you a hundred times today

Admitting that is hard because deep down I know

that the one that cares the least

is the one that holds the cards

and I can feel my poker face slipping

Surely you have some hint by now

that as thankful as I am for your friendship

I would do terrible, horrible things for something more

but I have to play the hand I’m dealt

and I don’t have the chips to raise

All I can do is call or fold

and I don’t think I have it in me

to get up from the table

So please, if you feel the same

you’ll have to be the one

to up the pot a little higher

and give me some kind of tell

‘Cause I don’t know how to read you

and I’m afraid to show ’em

I don’t want to sacrifice

when I’m holding nothing

Everything is in your hands

You only have to call
