To Lose A Bet

I lost a bet Keeping me alive I wish I'd never said You'd always be mine I'll call your name I'll plant your seed I wrote you a letter I don't want you to read The streets are breathing in Lover's hopeful glances The lights are going out The lovers leave the crowd This city I know Everyday a little better Jobs are running out Hope is getting thinner I know I've held A little too tight I can't go back And make it alright The streets are drinking in Lover's hopeless glances The lights are growing dim The lover's lose their chances To stay Say a word, say a word Don't leave me standing here I'm at that point
