You wanted to tell me what I wanted to hear
A little girl lost in a bigger city, and I ain't ever seen nobody look this pretty
My conscious is screaming telling me to stay clear
You told me you live in a house of cards
Your mind works like a very fine piece of art
But I know, coming so close, it's so hard to resist, 'cause you wanted some more
You did not care
Putting your arms around my neck
So I, some Romeo, I was gonna let go
I was about to explode
Tried to get away
Tried to run fast out of this place
But you, you linger in my life, I won't lie
You'll never, you'll never say goodbye, goodbye
Please baby tell me what I am doing here
Days turn into nights that turn into ways that you start a fight
And now all the people passing by, they'll stop and stare
Their eyes are depressingly thin
Oh what I great mess I am in
But you, you're taking my control, control
You won't no, you'll never let me go, let me go
Your house of cards, your house of cards, yours
Your house of cards, your house of cards, yours
You take me to your house of cards, yours
