Gamble
Lucy Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The blame this time
Cause it was my fault
And you were kind
It's not hard searching for a reason
To believe that I'm something
Cause I don't gamble like I used to
But I still do things that I shouldn't do
That I shouldn't do
And it's on my mind
And it's on my mind
I will just leave
Cause no more pain
Cause I brought this on
Cause you were kind
Cause now I'm searching for a reason
To believe that I'm something
Cause I don't gamble like I used to
But I still do things that I shouldn't do
That I shouldn't do
It's on my mind
And it's on my mind
Cause you said to me
Can't we work it out?
Won't you talk to me?
What's this all about?
And you said to me
Can't we work it out?
Won't you talk to me?
What's this all about?
And you said to me
Can't we work it out?
Won't you talk to me?
What's this all about?
And you said to me
Can't we work it out?
Won't you talk to me?
What's this all about?

The repeated refrain of "cause you were kind" emphasizes the singer's gratitude for the other person's kindness and their awareness that they don't entirely deserve it. The other person has asked to work things out and talk about what's going on, but the singer is hesitant and unsure, still grappling with their own internal conflicts.

I want lucy to sing to me forever. Everything else doesn't matter when I listen to her. All the sounds in the background add to the effect; she could be anywhere in the world, and her music would still be the same - beautiful.
