House of Pain

House Of Pain It's.....all..... a game we play Sometimes to lose is the only way Like a stack of cards you build your house sound The wind blows hard so it falls to the ground It's.....all.....a game of romance Love while you can there'll be no second chance Spend time to get close then follow your dreams Only to find out all's not as it seems Loser falls down again In this cold house of pain Noone can win without trust Life isn't fair or just Its.....all.....a game of chance You stand alone or perhaps you both dance Work as a team to get through in your life Someone cheats then pain cuts like a knife It's.....all..... a game of Redemption Win or lose there'll be apprehension Just give and take sometimes you can't go wrong Some day you'll both be singing the same song Loser falls down again In this cold house of pain Noone can win without trust Life isn't fair or just We all learn from this painful game That things will never stay the same Always one will lose, one will win Loser's the one who'll be suffering Loser falls down again In this cold house of pain Noone can win without trust Life isn't fair or just Loser falls down again In this cold house of pain.....

This is really good Jane, I'm enjoying your lyrics, glad to have another songwriter on the soup. I can picture the melody in my mind and that shows how well written it is!

Thank you John. I'm a lyracist who doesn't sing or play music unfortunately, so I try to make my words fit a melody in my head. xx

So very true; trust is hard to find after infidelity.
