House Of Cards-Nikki Sudden

I was looking for you You were buried under the sand I was so busy painting pictures Of the kings and queens who ruled this land And they tried to hang me From the gallows pole down in the yard Oh, I spent my time Building a house of cards. I watched you building Your bridges again Just like a thief you never know when to stop Or to start taking revenge Oh, I tried so hard, I tried so hard I tried so hard But I just built myself a house Out of your regards. I was looking for you You were waiting for me Your shoes are sacred There's nothing left that you haven't seen And I watched you swinging Watched you swinging down so far I was looking for you In my house of cards. I saw you standing there In the luggage van And I held you for a lifetime Hoping you might understand I tried to give you reasons Tried to tie you down to false regards But you left me on an island Left me in my house of cards.
