Lyrics ideas- Writing's On The Wall

Below are the lyrics for Sam Smith's 'The Writing's On The Wall', the song I am making a music video with. All the text in bold are my ideas for the visuals to accompany the lyrics.

[Sam]
I've been here before - walking into the gambling den
But always hit the floor - still walking, or chips hitting the floor
I've spent a lifetime running
And I always get away
But with you I'm feeling something - looking at cards or chips
That makes me want to stay

I'm prepared for this
I never shoot to miss - gambling some chips
But I feel like a storm is coming
If I'm gonna make it through the day
Then there's no more use in running
This is something I gotta face - facing protagonist

If I risk it all
Could you break my fall? -singing into camera

How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood -blood puddle with cards
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all -dice rolling
Cause the writing's on the wall

A million shards of glass
That haunt me from my past
As the stars begin to gather -shot panning around the gambling table
And the light begins to fade
When all hope begins to shatter
Know that I won't be afraid

If I risk it all -singing to camera
Could you break my fall?

How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood -blood dripping onto cards
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all -singing to the audience
Cause the writing's on the wall

The writing's on the wall -singing

How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood -heart playing card
Tell me is this where I give it all up? -deciding whether to go all in, close up possibly

How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood -looking at cards
Tell me is this where I give it all up? -singing into camera
For you I have to risk it all -going all in
Cause the writing's on the wall
