House Of Cards

I live in a house of cards
Made of people I know
It shelters me every day
My house is a part of the world
Where live and let love
Is all we have to say

And if you want you can go there
All you have to do is believe and
Open your eyes and you can see them
The little truths are scattered all around
In the middle of the madness
In the place where quiet can be found
If you don't see that or believe that
They disappear without a sound
Cause we all live in a house of cards
Take one away and they all come tumbling down
They all come falling down

I live in a crazy world
Full of crazy things
That I never quite understand
But I know that the people that care for you
Are the measure of any woman or any man

And if you need anything then I'll share
If I need you would you be there

Open your eyes and you can see them
The little truths are scattered all around
In the middle of the madness
In the place where quiet can be found
If you don't see that or believe that
They disappear without a sound
Cause we all live in a house of cards
Take one away and they all come tumbling down
They all come falling down

Hold on to what is close to you
Cause letting it go (Of your soul so baby)

Open your eyes and you can see them
The little truths are scattered all around
In the middle of the madness
In the place where quiet can be found
If you don't see that or believe that
They disappear without a sound
Cause we all live in a house of cards
Take one away and they all come tumbling down
They all come falling down
