I guess you're okay

You seem to feel better these days

I've known you for so long

I've seen your brightness go from blue to grey

You know that's true

You can shake your head but I can prove

I've seen things through your eyes

You think you win but in the end you lose
Despite the addressed person's belief otherwise, their actions might lead to eventual loss.
And there's no second guess
No room for reconsideration; decisions are final.
We take no second bets
There are no further opportunities for taking additional chances or risks.
Chances are we're a long way from happiness
The likelihood of achieving happiness seems distant or improbable.
Don't cover up the road to love
Advising not to hide or obscure the path to love with inadequate words.
With words that can't express
Expressing that certain words may not fully convey feelings or truths.
The truth implies you're high and dry

I'm one step behind

Looking out for you all the time

I'll put my faith in you

And steer you clear of love that leaves you blind
Willingness to guide the addressed person away from love that may lead to negative consequences.
