It Was All a Bet

by Maddie Ross

on Never Have I Ever (2019)

[Verse 1]
This pavement, thicker in the winter
If my head would move just a little quicker
I could tell you straight why I am so bitter
I feel so alone

I paid the price, stupid 'cause I'm honest
And I took your word, dying to be wanted
I would do it twice just so, in the moment
I'd feel so alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'm breaking down in the daylight baby
And I'm waking up in the dark
I'm taking up all the oxygen
And I'm starving all of my thoughts

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna remember waiting
Like a fool outside of your car
And I'll spend every September asking
"Did you plan it all from the start?"

[Post-Chorus]
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody watching over me?
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody watching over me?

[Verse 2]
One by one, picking up the pieces
As the record spins, slowly through the seasons
Every day begins wishing for the reason
I feel so alone

So I keep marching, braver than a soldier
And I keep fighting, hoping when I'm older
It will fade with time, nothing left to shoulder
I feel so alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'm breaking down in the daylight baby
And I'm waking up in the dark
I'm using up all the oxygen
And I'm starving all of my thoughts

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna remember waiting
Like a fool outside of your car
And I'll spend every September asking
"Did you plan it all at the start?"

[Post-Chorus]
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody watching over me?
Is anybody out there?
Does everybody what it means?

[Outro]
