Lyrics - Skipjack by Heavenly


I keep my hand hidden from view
A poker face is what's called for with you
I hold my cards tight to my chest
Just one misjudged look, and you'll guess the rest(
Cathy's part:)
Look in the glass, reflections of me
My cards lade bare on the table to see(
Amelia's part:)(
Look, can't you see me?
Acting cool, when
Really
I'm scared, that this game's unfair)(
Cathy's part:)
My cheating eyes are all that you know
Now you're the banker, it's your turn to go(
Amelia's part:)
You could cheat me if you wanted to
I could not think any worse of you
Each way
I lose a heart but somehow
I lost the art
Of playing these stupid games, you're gonna win again and
I don't know what to do
I've gambled everything but you still ask for more
I can't afford not to give
Just one more chance,
If only for the past
I know it's my last now
Not much to lose, when you've lost it all
But why must you take it so hard when you fall(
Cathy's part:)
I'll pay again at your asking price
I must accept it, but your look's like ice(
Amelia's part:)
I've tried to delay to put off the day
It comes clear you don't need me here(
Cathy's part:)
Dragged through the mill numb to it all
Just when
I thought it was my turn to call(
Amelia's part:)
I know it is time for me to leave
Turn my worst fears into certainty
But
I can't bring myself to leave for somewhere else
Without you forcing me which you won't do which means that
