Lottery Ticket Lyrics

I haven't been patient

I haven't been kind

I've been so jealous

And full of pride

I haven't loved you like I said I would

That day I wore white

I haven't been patient

I haven't been kind

I've been so angry

And I've kept score

One day I want less of you

The next I want you more

I wouldn't blame you if you packed your bags

And headed for the door

I haven't been patient

And I've kept score

I'm not a gambler

But I'd bet everything I know

Our grass would be so much greener if I'd just fertilize our own

But pride's a bitter pill to swallow

When the words are stuck in your throat

You're my winning lottery ticket

I want you to know

That I've been there

But I haven't been present

I've said things to you

But I haven't meant them

I haven't loved you like I said I would

That day we left for Denver

I'll be grateful for your love forever

I'm not a gambler

But I'd bet everything I know

Our grass would be so much greener if I'd just fertilize our own

But pride's a bitter pill to swallow

When the words are stuck in your throat

You're my winning lottery ticket

And I want you to know

I don't meant to play you

And then throw you away

You deserve so much more

Than I can give to you today

I've gotta get over myself

And just get out of the way

You're my winning lottery ticket

And I want you to stay

But I haven't been patient

I haven't been kind

I've been so jealous

And full of pride

I haven't loved you like I said I would

That day I wore white

I haven't been patient

I haven't been kind

I'm not a gambler

But I'd bet everything I know

Our grass would be so much greener if I'd just fertilize our own

But pride's a bitter pill to swallow

When the words are stuck in your throat

You're my winning lottery ticket

And I want you to know

That you're my winning lottery ticket

And I want you to know
