The Worst Bet I Ever Bet

Grab a bucket and mop
Because I completely forgot
That we spilled red wine all over the floor

Last night we went too far from our house to the bar
And then back home again for some more
And I haven't smiled quite as much as I have for a while
When you and me take on the world
And I know that I'm not all you want in a man
And neither are you in a girl

As the city casts its shadows around
The taller the buildings, the darker the ground
Every day nearing summer
I'll never forget
That you were the worst bet that I'd ever bet
You were the worst bet that I'd ever bet

Grab a dustpan and broom
We should never assume
That somebody else would pick up
All those pieces of what we once called a relationship
Before we realised that enough was enough

And I don't wanna hear about how you were the only one that tried
'Cause my darling, I was there too
And I know that I'm not all you want in a girl
But as a boy, neither were you

As the city casts its shadows around
The taller the buildings, the darker the ground
Every day nearing summer
I'll never forget
That you were the worst bet that I'd ever bet
You were the worst bet that I'd ever bet
