V1
I learned young how to sit with a bad hand,
Keep my face still, let 'em think that I had plans
Throw good money after everything I'd lost
Call every raise like I could cover the cost

I was counting every way to fold
Reading every shadow wrong,
Then you turned up like an ace in the hole
Like you'd been there along

C1
You pulled me from the river when the current had my throat
You made the whole world different when I had no way to cope
I was all in on disaster, I was burning through the game
Then you flipped my whole world upside down
And remembered my name

V2
I was one card away from giving in
Was one bluff away from throwing in the towel
One turn away from everything
All I needed was that little win
That you gave to me

I was all empty
I was waiting to lose
Watching the whole room cave in
Then you hit the table out of the blue
And made me believe in myself again

C2
You pulled me from the river when the current had my throat
You made the whole world different when I had no way to cope
I was all in on disaster, I was burning through the game
Then you flipped my whole world upside down
And remembered my name

I don't need the perfect hand,
I don't need a royal flush
I don't need to win the room,
I just need the card I've got

I don't need to go all-in
and I don't need a safer place
When I've got nothing left to play
I still can play my ace.
