Stupid Trick

Turn your heart into a stone

Take your cards and lay them low

I was afraid of what I faced

At every draw mistakes were made

Like a military man

Always two steps up and smarter than his prey

And I lost my head

And any sense of how he played the game

Was it just a wish

That maybe you were playing this to win?

Or was it magic

To go and make me love you like I did?

An illusion

Or was it just a stupid trick?

It was a castle made of sand

Moments pouring through the bottom of a glass

And you can give a wolf a chance

All those suits he wear don't make a man

Was it just a fix

Or did you need this more than you'd admit?

Or was it magic

To go and make me love you like I did?

An illusion

Or was it just a stupid trick?

A stupid trick

It was just a slip of fate

Never meant to cause no pain

And though you tried to twist the ace

When you looked at me you gave yourself away

And I will say it's nothing

But you can call a spade a spade

And you can learn to be okay

But know you'll never be the same

The same

Magic

To go and make me love you like I did

An illusion

Or was it just a stupid trick

A stupid trick
