Back Up Again

You might call me a gambler

I guess I've always been

Cause I'll risk the chance of losin'

Just to have a chance to win

And the odds were stacked against me

When I ran in to you

Turned out I lost a lot more

Than I knew I had to lose, yeah

You always wanted someone

I knew I couldn't be

Cause I learned long ago

It's hard enough just bein' me

So now you're out there runnin'

You've moved on in your mind

Forgot about the pain you left behind

It's been a long time

Yeah it's been a long, long time

You had me down for a while

Oh but I got back up again

Yes I did

I could tell you it was worth it

But that'd just be a lie

Cause you never gave enough of you

To make it worth the try

Now everything you told me

And all the plans we made

Are memories I'm just trying to chase away

Cause it's been a long time

Yeah it's been a long, long time

I had to get you off my mind

Yeah but I got back up again

I got back up again

So I picked up the pieces

Out here on my own

I learned to hold my bets till I know all the cards are shown

The clouds are finally clearin'

I think I see the sun

And I'm hopin' most of the hurtin's finally done, yeah

It's been a long time

Yeah it's been a long, long time

You had me down for a while

Yeah, but I got back up again

Yeah I got back up again

That's right

I got back up again

Yes I did
