Game of Cards

King of spades 
Royalty unlock the chains 
To my soul 
Then throw the key far away 

Queen of hearts 
Stop my world from falling apart 
Protect the beat of 
My breaking heart 

Ace of diamonds 
Underestimate me not 
Stop my mind from crying 

And crying 
And crying

You played a game of cards 
With my mind, soul and heart
