House of Cards

An MP3 of House of Cards is available here.

My dreams are built like a house of cards
You’re going to blow, you’re going to blow too hard
Be gentle

You climbed up the stairs like the heroine in a horror movie
Maybe you were scared of something waiting there
To make a meal of you

The writing was on the wall, I read your lips attentively
Feeling small, trying to fall
Out of love with you

My dreams are built like a house of cards
You’re going to blow, you’re going to blow too hard
Be gentle

I feel nothing any more, I should be in misery
Not even sure I’m sore now you’ve pulled away the floor
From beneath me

Instead I am non-plussed, all the cards are on the table
I wish you’d just say if it’s me or us
You’re afraid of
My dreams are built like a house of cards
You’re going to blow, you’re going to blow too hard
Be gentle
