I Bet My Life

I know I took the path that you would
never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I
so many sleepless nights where you were
waiting up on me
well I'm just a slave unto the night

now remember when I told you that's the
last you'll see of me
remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never
want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

so I, I bet my life
I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I've been around the world
and never in my wildest dreams
would I come runnin' home to you
I've told a million lies but now I'll tell a
single truth
there's you in everything I do

[pre-chorus]
[repeat chorus]

don't tell me that I'm wrong
I've walked that road before
and left you on your own
please believe them when they say
that it's left for yesterday
in the records that I play
please forgive me for all I've done

[repeat chorus]
