House of Cards Songtext
von Crucifix

The truth is living in our eyes
It′s like we're living separate lives
Cuz something happened on the way to heaven
And now we hide behind our lies
We don′t even ever talk
Through separate worlds we both walk
Cuz something happened on the way to heaven
And now we're running in the dark
I know you said forever
I know I said forever
I never thought I'd see the day that we′re not together
But we′ve both been playing hands that we can't hide


We got dreams and life
We got hopes and time
Steady falling out of love
While we′re livin' in a house of cards
We got secrets and lies
We got pain behind our eyes
Just pretendin′ for the kids
While everything falls apart

Never not once in my life did I wish
That we'd end up in a place like this
Where every single word
Is like a blade to the wrist
Cutting us down
I′m beating walls with my fists
The truth is we ain't never seeing eye to eye
We done been through way too much to hide
And sooner or later all the weight of the past
Is like a house of cards
Just waiting to crash
I know I did you wrong I hate that
Ain't nothing I can do to change that
You′re hurting and I know you want payback...
I′m gonna take that knowing I deserve that
I guess love is like a freight train
Hauling our mistakes and our past pain
There's only so much hell you can ride through together
Before love derails


I know you said forever
I know I said forever
I never thought I′d see the day that we're not together
But we′ve both been playing hands that we can't hide
We got dreams and life
We got hopes and time
Steady falling out of love
While we′re livin' in a house of cards
We got secrets and lies
We got pain behind our eyes
Just pretendin' for the kids
While everything falls apart

I know you said forever
I know I said forever
I never thought I′d see the day that we′re not together
But we've both been playing hands that we can′t hide
We got dreams and life
We got hopes and time
Steady falling out of love
While we're livin′ in a house of cards
We got secrets and lies
We got pain behind our eyes
Just pretendin' for the kids
While everything falls apart
