She keeps her se crets in her eyes.
She wraps her truth in side her (F)lies.
Just when I can’t say what she’s done to me, when she comes to me,
An and leads me back to par a dise.
She’s so hard to hold,
but I can’t let go.
I’m a house of cards in a hur ri cane, a reck less ride in the pour ing rain.
She cuts me, and the pain is all I wan na feel.
She’ll dance a way just like a child.
She drives me cra zy, drives me wild,
but I’m help less when she
smiles.
(Oh, when she smiles.)
(She smiles.)
but I’m help less when she smiles.
When she looks at me,
I get so weak.
I’m a house of cards in a hur ri cane, a reck less ride in the pour ing rain.
She cuts me, and the pain is all I wan na feel.
She’ll dance a way just like a child.
She drives me cra zy, drives me wild,
but I’m help less when she
smiles,
(Oh, when she smiles.) when she smiles.
(She smiles.)
When she smiles.
