House of Cards (Acoustic)

I was eighteen

I let you take a bullet to my daydream

Drunk on delusion

Pour a little salt into my wound please

Telling me to find a silver lining

Oh, I'm trying

Calling everyone, I hear the sirens

Once the fears come back

All the feelings set in

See my house of cards is crumbling

And trembling now

Through the window sill

If my walls could talk

See my house of cards is caving in

And trembling

So don't be afraid of (Afraid of, afraid of)

Turning the lights on (Lights on, lights on)

No, don't be afraid of (Afraid of, afraid of)

Turning the lights on (Lights on, lights on)

Out of paper

Building up a world around myself

I'll keep on praying

That I haven't built a ship to wreck

Telling me to find a silver lining

Oh, I'm trying

Once the fears come back

All the feelings set in

See my house of cards is crumbling

And trembling now

Through the window sill

If my walls could talk

See my house of cards is caving in

And trembling

So don't be afraid of (Afraid of, afraid of)

Turning the lights on (Lights on, lights on)

No, don't be afraid of (Afraid of, afraid of)

Turning the lights on (Lights on, lights on)

So don't be afraid of

Turning the lights on

Once the fears come back

All the feelings set in

See my house of cards is crumbling

And trembling now
