[Verse 1] You're the queen of hearts I'm just a joker with a diamond You were hoping for a full house I guess that I was just lying to myself [Verse 2] You deserve a king A man to put you on a throne Yeah, I wish that could be me, babe But, when it's wrong, it's wrong, no [Chorus] Never build a white picket fence Around a house of cards Even though you want to, babe Just because you came this far No, never build a white picket fence Around a house of cards 'Cause the first time that the wind blows, babe Thе whole thing's gonna fall apart So let's get out whilе we both still got a chance Before our first kiss and our first dance And a white picket fence [Verse 3] You drove down to Austin You got some healing from your sister I packed up the U-Haul Second guessing 'cause I miss ya [Verse 4] What am I supposed to tell our friends? I guess you're gonna keep the dog You know I'm one foot out the door, babe I know it isn't what you want, but [Chorus] You can't build a white picket fence Around a house of cards Even though you want to, babe Just because you came this far No, never build a white picket fence Around a house of cards 'Cause the first time that the wind blows, babe The whole thing's gonna fall apart So let's get out while we both still got a chance Before our first kiss and our first dance And a white picket fence [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] No, never build a white picket fence Around two broken hearts Just because you're scared to leave Just because it seems too hard No, never build a white picket fence Around a house of cards 'Cause the first time that the wind blows, babe The whole thing's gonna fall apart So let's get out while we both still got a chance Before our first kid and our first dance And a white picket fence [Outro] Yeah, a white picket fence
