She's drowning in a game
where the stakes are too high.
She's losing her name,
and doesn't want to be tamed.

Her cards are all in
and she's run out of time.
The rings on her finger
but she doesn't want to linger.

The odds are against her
for she's lost her shine.
All eyes are on her,
but she wants a bigger future.

The bets have been placed
and she's last in line.
She  prays it isn't true,
but still says I do.
