Allegations
Gambling with Reputation: A Tale of Love and Vice
Lyrics
I got a bad reputation
I have a negative public image.
Cause for celebration
There's a reason to celebrate my bad reputation.
A bad reputation tonight
My negative reputation is prominent tonight.
I'm a gambling man, a love struck loser like a love letter in the rain
I take risks in love like a love letter that gets ruined in the rain.
I fall apart I'm wasted, naked I'm hated, in love with the trash I made.
I fall apart, feel wasted, exposed, and disliked, yet still in love with my mistakes.
I'm a gambling man now give me those odds, of winning your heart back
I take chances in love and want to know the odds of winning you back.
You can place your bet on the velvet debt where no lucky man survives
You can bet on a risky situation where no fortunate person survives.
These old wounds wont heal themselves old friend
Old emotional wounds need external intervention to heal.
These old wounds wont heal themselves again
The same emotional wounds require attention and care repeatedly.
I got a fucking bad reputation
My reputation is seriously flawed and offensive.
The cost of villainy
The consequences of my immoral actions.
Well I'll pay the price, I'll roll the dice, give all the vice and you'll come with me
I'm willing to face the consequences, take risks, indulge in vices, and bring you along.
I'm a gambling man, a beautiful loser, a stranger I have been
I'm someone who takes risks in love and is aesthetically pleasing in losing.
Tomorrow you'll hate me then you'll love me then you'll miss me forever
Your feelings toward me will fluctuate over time.
These old wounds wont heal themselves old friend
Old emotional wounds still require attention and care.
These old wounds wont heal themselves again
The same emotional wounds need ongoing healing efforts.
I got a fucking bad reputation
Reiterating the existence of a negative public image.
The cost of villainy
The consequences of engaging in villainous behavior.
Well I'll pay the price, I'll roll the dice, give all the vice and you'll come with me
Willing to face the consequences, take risks, indulge in vices, and bring you along.
Oh the villainy, the price I paid, the debt I gave a life.
Expressing the heaviness of the consequences, the price paid, and the debts given for a certain way of life.
