House Of Cards

It's late at night and the world's asleep

And I'm trying not to think.

I take some pills 'cause my mind bleeds

I'm thinking what is wrong with me?

Because the only thing I know about honesty

Is every lie I've told that you believed

I'm afraid to be alone

I'm afraid that one day you'll find out



And you'll be amazed at the secrets I keep

You'd be amazed at my mouth full of lies

But I'm too afraid to come clean

'Cause my life's the flame in a house of cards



Now I can't look you in your eyes

Because the guilt is killing me

I try to disconnect my heart again

Just so I can breathe

I want to be myself again

But I just can't

'Cause I'm afraid to be alone

I'm afraid that one day you'll find out



And you'll be amazed at the secrets I keep

You'd be amazed at my mouth full of lies

But I'm too afraid to come clean

'Cause my life's the flame in a house of cards



It's such a shame what I've become

After years of breaking down

My whole life has come undone

'Cause I'm trying to fake it all

I know that you love someone

But that someone isn't me

Or is this me?



No!



And you'll be amazed at the secrets I keep

You'd be amazed at my mouth full of lies

But I'm too afraid to come clean

'Cause my life's the flame in a house of cards



You'll be amazed

You'll be amazed
