The Stakes Were Raised

Where am I gonna land?
In the palm of someone's hand
I should have known that the good part was over
That you would leave at the end of the summer

But the stakes were raised-
And so, I looked the other way

The sky turned red
The world came true
The way I wanted you
I should have guessed that the moment was passing
I didn't catch all the signs that were flashing

Cuz the stakes were raised...
And, so...I looked the other way

All of my hoping just turned into lying
Kidding myself without even trying
Should have noticed the whole thing was dying

But the stakes were raised
And so I looked the other way
The stakes were raised
And so I looked the other way
