The House Always Wins

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
