[Verse 1] "I was safe with you," that's what you said "Just come on in and get your fortune read" Drawn to you by hand-spun fated thread The looks you gave me could have raised the dead [Pre-Chorus] My Achilles heel revealed by bones you stole to scry Asked about the only thing that always makes me cry And I didn't want to believe it all might be a lie Left staring at the sky and wondering why [Chorus] The King of Swords, the table turned And you played me for all I'm worth My future lost to sleight of hand And even now, don't understand Just how you did it, but you did it You flipped it on me [Verse 2] Tell me, were we doomed right from the start? The card shark feasts upon a lonely heart Dealt me in, each shuffle was an art I still applauded as I fell apart [Pre-Chorus] I was Helen fair, yes, I was yours ripe for the theft 'Til the Spartans crashed the welcome party, so you up and left I had never seen a planned retreat so masterfully deft The newfound queen of Ilion bereft [Chorus] The King of Swords, the table turned And you played me for all I'm worth My future lost to sleight of hand And even now, don't understand Just how you did it, but you did it You flipped it on me [Bridge] When the wager called for sacrifice I threw my heart in without thinking twice Thought maybe once you'd won it, you would stay Next time I will call a sword a spade [Chorus] The King of Swords, the table turned And you played me for all I'm worth My future lost to sleight of hand And even now, don't understand [Outro] The King of Swords, the queen who stayed If you only knew the price she paid The pair of us gave quite a show But now I'll reap just what I sow Because I did it, yes, I did it I flipped it
