Verse 1
You paint these pretty pictures with words as sweet as wine
You tell me that I'm crazy, that everything is fine
You whisper little secrets that you swear are only mine
But the colors start to bleed and fade, they don't stand the test of time
Verse 2
I used to hang on every syllable you'd say
I'd chase away the shadows and wish the doubts away
But my heart isn't stupid and my soul isn't blind
I'm connecting all the dots you left behind
Chorus
I'm so sick of the lies, the cheap disguise
The I love you that feels hollow when I look into your eyes
This house of cards you built is crashing to the floor
And I can't play this stupid game with you anymore
Verse 3
Another late night at the office, another phone was dead
While whispers of another story echo in my head
You swear that I'm the only one, you're looking in my face
But your alibi is scattered all over the place
Verse 4
I used to wanna trust you, Lord knows how hard I tried
I swallowed all the bitter pills you kept for me inside
But my heart isn't stupid and my soul isn't blind
I'm done with all the wreckage you have left behind
Chorus
I'm so sick of the lies, the cheap disguise
The I love you that feels hollow when I look into your eyes
This house of cards you built is crashing to the floor
And I can't play this stupid game with you anymore
Verse 5
Maybe I was foolish, maybe I was weak
To let your fiction be the only truth I let you speak
But the curtains falling down, the lights are coming on
And the man I thought I loved is already gone
Verse 6
So I'm packing up the memories, the good ones and the bad
For the peace of mind I never really had
I'm so sick of the lies, the cheap disguise
The I love you that is poison when I look into your eyes
Verse 7
This house of cards you built is burning to the floor
And I won't play your broken game with you anymore
Anymore, no, no, not anymore
Your game is over, watch it all fall down
Verse 8
Yeah, your house of cards, it's all falling down
Goodbye.
