House of Cards
I forget that I’m in trapped in a house of cards
until the wind comes blasting through
And I’m left again with nothing
Nothing but grief and this pile of all that I knew
I had to forget how much I cared for you
Something no one should ever have to do
Can you remember? Do you remember?
Those darkly happy days when you felt that way too?
Love so many bitter times unrequited
Two hearts broken----too broken to break anymore
You’ve become my dark horse in this race against time
And I hope to God we’re not about to lose
Futile
Infantile
And all around absurd
Is what this nightmare without you has been
We shouldn’t have to work so hard
To fall flat down on our faces
again and again
I wish you’d come out of your shell
and back to life in the warmth of my arms once again
