House of Cards lyrics

[Verse 1]

Take all your plans and break them

They never turn out like you made them

And the stories that we sow only fill us up with hopes

In the end all we do is replace them

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm all shook up

My cup is tipping over

And all my dreams are overflowing

Upon this wooden floor

I guess I'm tryna tell you

It don't have to be this way

But if you build a house of cards

It's always gonna break

[Chorus]

La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

If you build a house of cards

Then it's always gonna break

La, la, la, la

The winds are always gonna change

If you build a house of cards

Nothing ever stays the same

[Verse 2]

Forget what your parents told you

Don't have to grow old 'cause you're older

You'll find love, you'll find pain, then you lose and try again

Just don't let your heart grow colder

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm all shook up (All shook up)

My cup is tipping over (Cup is tipping over)

And all my dreams are overflowing (Overflowing)

Upon this wooden floor (Woo ooh)

I guess I'm tryna tell you

It don't have to be this way

But if you build a house of cards

It's always gonna break

[Chorus]

La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

If you build a house of cards

Then it's always gonna break

La, la, la, la

The winds are always gonna change

If you build a house of cards

Nothing ever stays the same

La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

If you build a house of cards

Then it's always gonna break

La, la, la, la

The winds are always gonna change

If you build a house of cards

Nothing ever stays the same

[Bridge]

Be brave (Be brave), hold tight (Hold tight)

Though the world keeps spinning

Don't close (Don't close) your eyes (Your eyes)

Or you just might miss it

Be brave (Be brave), hold tight (Hold tight)

As the world keeps spinning

Don't close (Don't close) your eyes

Or you just might miss it

Be brave (Be brave), hold tight (Hold tight)

And as the world keeps spinning

Don't close (Don't close) your eyes (Your eyes)

Or you just might miss it

Be brave (Be brave), hold tight (Hold tight)

And as the world keeps spinning

Don't close your eyes (Your eyes)

[Chorus]

La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

If you build a house of cards

Then it's always gonna break

La, la, la, la

The winds are always gonna change

If you build a house of cards

Nothing ever stays the same

[Outro]

La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

If you build a house of cards

Know that nothing stays the same
