House of Cards

I forget that I’m in trapped in a house of cards until the wind comes blasting through And I’m left again with nothing Nothing but grief and this pile of all that I knew I had to forget how much I cared for you Something no one should ever have to do Can you remember? Do you remember? Those darkly happy days when you felt that way too? Love so many bitter times unrequited Two hearts broken----too broken to break anymore You’ve become my dark horse in this race against time And I hope to God we’re not about to lose Futile Infantile And all around absurd Is what this nightmare without you has been We shouldn’t have to work so hard To fall flat down on our faces again and again I wish you’d come out of your shell and back to life in the warmth of my arms once again
