House of Cards Lyrics


Don't wanna talk about yesterday

With all of these thorns in my side

Old devil with a new conspiracy

With no place for him to hide

Freeze frame!

Can somebody tell me

Is there no more loyalty?

Hands break

But you should have known by now

That there's a price

For slowing us down

There's nothing left to save

Nothing left to save to start again

When all I needed was one night

Of sanctuary

And pray you'd turn your wrongs to right

Your sleight of hand made your house of cards fall down

So now you're swinging from the mercy tree

The blinders ripped from your eyes

I saw you coming from miles away

Your bark was worse than your bite

Freeze frame!

Can somebody tell me

Is there no more loyalty?

Hands break

But you should have known by now

That there's a price for slowing us down

There's nothing left to save

Nothing left to save to start again

When all I needed was one night

Of sanctuary

And pray you'd turn your wrongs to right

Your sleight of hand made your house of cards fall down

Falling down

Falling down

Falling down

Do you know where you're going?

When there's no one to drive you home?

I've grown tired of waiting

When your excuses are all for show

There's no light up the road

When you trade your highs for lows

I feel the sunlight shining

But you're as cold as the day is long

When all I needed was one night

Of sanctuary

And pray you'd turn your wrongs to rights

You were never there

When I needed

When I needed

A friend to save me

I played the hand you dealt

Now I'm standing on much higher ground

As your house of cards fall down
