In the little game of gamble, in the big hazard of time,
You can choose to stake all you own, or merely risk a dime,
The dealer who feels like God, asks you what’re your picks,
You feel stupid, even as you say, “Its all on double six.”
Double six is ultimate, double six is rare,
Double six reminds me of, you standing there.
You stood there and I realized, those hopes were all tricks,
Absurd and ridiculous, like a double six.
Don’t know where those hopes came from, you didn’t do anything such,
To make me fall for you, like you a little too much.
I’ve known you less than 12 months, I’ve known you from afar,
I’ve known so much about you, but I don’t know who you are.
I wish we had more in common, I wish we had more time,
I wish we were a movie, not this boring mime.
I wish you would have known me, I wish you would have cared,
I wish you would have done more, than just sat and stared.
You might think I’m nerdy, you might not probe further,
You might judge me for what I wear, but you don’t know me either.
You sit there every week, you sit there in my view,
And yet you fail to notice, that I’m right across you.
Do you really notice me, or are those trick, like I said?
Do you really feel the way I do, or is it all in my head?
Have I been holding onto something, that was never there?
Have I been holding onto something, that you never shared?
Have I been holding onto something, that was never born?
Have I been standing dumb right here, and the daylights come and gone?
Must have been a fool to like you so hard, for so long,
Missed the tiny detail that made the picture all too wrong,
It was right there all along, I don’t know how I didn’t see,
Someone like you doesn’t go for someone like me.
And now I find myself on the wrong side of the road,
Now I find myself shrugging off the load,
The hope that never was mine, the hope would never be,
That hope was something borrowed, borrowed for free,
I’m letting it go now, letting it fall,
I’m leaving it forever, but I’m not missing you at all.
In the little game of game of gamble, in the big hazard of time,
I choose to stake all I own, not merely risk a dime,
Double six is ultimate, double six is rare,
Double six reminds me of, you no longer there,
You’re no longer there and I realize that I was silly,
Double six is more probable, than you and me.
