House of Cards Lyrics by Caitlyn Smith

Starfire

2018

[Verse 1]
I've been praying, asking God for help
But lately, it feels like I've been talking to myself
I've been waiting for life to get better
And I need to cry but I'm afraid to cry
'Cause I just might cry forever
[Verse 2]
Ooh, sometimes I wonder if it's all just chance
And I'm just spinning on a planet, being told to dance
And hallelujah is just another word
When you're empty, lost and broken
It don't take away the hurt
[Chorus]
And I don't know why
Why it's gotta be so damn hard
Why it always falls apart
Why I always cry when I see the stars
Careful now, fragile hearts
We're all living in a house of cards
[Verse 3]
Ooh, and I still miss you, and I want you back
And I'm out here under the mirror moon
Digging up the past
And I'm a dreamer, and what nobody knows
Is deep in my soul, I'm scared half to death
There's is a voice in my head:
"You've got to get better, it's now or it's never"
You're not good enough, good enough, oh
Just shut up, shut up, shut up, yeah
Oh, ooh
[Chorus]
And I don't know why
Why it's gotta be so damn hard
Why it always falls apart
Why I always cry when I see the stars
Careful now, fragile hearts
Careful now, fragile hearts
We're all living in a house of cards
