Losing bet

I seem to keep betting on the wrong horse

It breaks down in the middle of the course

All my hopes and dreams seem to fade away

Life keeps getting harder day after day

I just can not find my winning ticket

And I am really getting sick of it

I keep hoping that my day will soon come

That I will one day have a winning run

In life there is no sure bet

We make choices we regret

Sometimes the things that are lost

Come at a very high cost

We can never earn them back

With a return to the track

We have to cut our losses

And learn to bear our crosses

Love and life do not come with instructions

Sometimes we get caught up in assumptions

We will we see things that are really not there

And it brings more sorrow for us to bear

We risk all we have on a losing bet

And our expectations are never met

We have nobody but ourselves to blame

Whenever we end up losing the game
