I bet my life es el single principal previo al lanzamiento del segundo álbum de Imagine Dragons: Smoke + mirrors (2015).
La canción habla de la relación que ha tenido el líder de la banda -Dan Reynolds- con sus padres a lo largo de los años, una relación a veces tensa y difícil. 'I bet my life' refleja el vínculo existente que mantiene con ellos.
Estrenada el 27 de octubre de 2014, el vídeoclip oficial dirigido por el canadiense Jodeb (Zedd: 'Clarity' y 'Find You', Sebastian Ingrosso & Tommy Trash: 'Reload') llega mes y medio después, el 12 de diciembre. Con al actor Dane DeHaan (The amazing spider-man 2: El poder de electro, Metallica Through the Never) como protagonista.
Letra
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights
Where you were waiting up on me
Well I'm just a slave unto the night
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
[Chorus]
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I've been around the world but never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies
But now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
[Chorus]
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
[Bridge]
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
I've walked that road before
I left you on your own
And please believe them when they say
That it's left for yesterday
And the records that I've played
Please forgive for all I've done
[Chorus]
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
