Reckless Gambler

I've been a reckless gambler.

I've been ignoring all the rules.

If I had stuck to them,

I'd have been someone else's fool.

Sure I would have won some.

But I'd have lost all my heart.

I'd have been a puppet,

Just playing another's part.

I'm a rolling stone gathering speed.

Breaking down the bridges.

Not just waiting around to bleed.

I'm a lover not a fighter,

But I'll fight for what I love.

As if I would be eased,

By never fighting any more.

From up here on the hillside,

I can see where I went wrong.

I can see where I must go now.

For you I will be travelling on.

I'm a rolling stone gathering speed.

Breaking down the bridges.

Not just waiting around to bleed.

This stone has a heart you know?

But it bleeds for no one.
