lyrics

HOUSE OF CARDS

Every move I make is answering a question
That's burning up this hole inside my chest
Every step I take is in the same direction
I'll take care of me and disregard the rest
'Cause I will do whatever I've got to do
To find out what I need to know

I'll do anything just as long as someone tells me
All of the things I'm dying to hear
And if they want me, I'll buy what they are selling
'Cause being alone is my greatest fear
So day by day I'm living my own way
Raising up a desperate life

All those things I've built up are
Just a fragile house of cards
And without a warning You came in
Like some hurricane-force wind
And You knocked it down
Till it won't work now
Yeah, You knocked it down

I have never felt the pleasure I've awaited
In living every moment my own way
All my choices leave me empty and frustrated
All I know is confusion and pain
I've tried and tried to feel satisfied
But it's only misery!

(CHORUS)

And it didn't work (You knocked it down)
It didn't work (You knocked it down)
Oh nothing I've ever tried could fill me up

(CHORUS)
