Lyric discussion by Had2comment 

For me definitely about a woman, although carefully worded to avoid gender, and not about literal gambling and cards but about the deck life gives you and the gambles we have to take in life. It's about someone who keeps everyone at a distance. He can see the sadness of this and has tried to make this person see it but has said it all before and has nothing else to say. It's sad and he doesn't want to watch what this person is doing.

@Had2comment I like your interpretation that this person is sadly keeping everyone in life at a distance.
