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,

smiles.
(Oh, when she smiles.)

When she looks at me,
I get so weak.

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.
