You Made Yourself A Bet

What kind of a hold
Do you have over me?
You speak and I believe
In every word you say to me
And I never doubt you
But when I try to tell you
How I feel
You look away, like you’re ashamed
And that’s when I know
You don’t really care
You’re just playin’ games with me
Like it’s funny
And I realize

You made yourself a bet
That you could get me
See how long you could have your way
Before I caught on
I didn’t think you would lie
Or play games with my mind, now I do
You made yourself a bet
That you could break me
Well congratulations
You did

Cryin’ in the rain
Is easiest
Cause no one’s outside
And when cars drive by
No one can tell
You’re chasin’ after me
But nothing you could say
Can undo what you just
Did
You look away like you’re ashamed
Don’t pretend you care
We both know it’d be a lie
You’re just playin’ games with me
As if it’s funny

You made yourself a bet
That you could get me
See how long you could have your way
Before I caught on
I didn’t think you would lie
Or play games with my mind, now I do
You made yourself a bet
That you could break me
Well congratulations
You did

You’re acting like nothing’s wrong
But I know you know I know
What you did
I don’t want to play these games with you
Cause baby I don’t want to lose
Just go home
And leave me alone
Cause now I know

You made yourself a bet
That you could get me
See how long you could have your way
Before I caught on
I didn’t think you would lie
Or play games with my mind, now I do
You made yourself a bet
That you could break me
Well congratulations
You did

You made yourself a bet
That you could get me
See how long you could have your way
Before I caught on
You don’t really care
You’re just playing games with my mind
And I didn’t think you would lie
Or play games with my mind, now I do
You made yourself a bet
That you could break me
As if it’d be funny
Well congratulations
You did
