We live in a house of cards so tall
It looks fine on the outside but it’s bound to fall
But the looking good is easy, it’s the feeling good that’s hard
And this house is just a house of cards
We’ve been bluffing each other for almost seven years
We both put on our best poker face but inside we’re filled with tears
I bet our love and lost in too many other secret games
Now the love is spent and just the marriage remains
We live in a house of cards so tall
It looks fine on the outside but it’s bound to fallå
The looking good is easy, it’s keeping it together that’s hard
And this house is just a house of cards
You wear a diamond but you’ve got a broken heart
We look like the perfect pair but we’re far apart
It just a matter of time until the shiny surface fades
And all that I’ve done wrong pays back in spades
We live in a house of cards so tall
It looks fine on the outside but it’s bound to fall
But the looking good is easy, it’s keeping it together that’s hard
And this house is just a house of cards
This house is just a house of cards
