House Of Cards
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.
Casa de naipes
Te estaba buscando
Estabas enterrado bajo la arena
Estaba tan ocupado pintando imágenes
De los reyes y reinas que gobernaban esta tierra
Y trataron de colgarme
Del poste de la horca en el patio
Oh, pasé mi tiempo
Construyendo una casa de naipes.
Te vi construyendo
Tus puentes de nuevo
Como un ladrón, nunca sabes cuándo parar
O empezar a vengarte
Oh, lo intenté tan duro, lo intenté tan duro
Lo intenté tan duro
Pero solo construí una casa
Con tus desprecios.
Te estaba buscando
Tú estabas esperándome
Tus zapatos son sagrados
No queda nada que no hayas visto
Y te vi balanceándote
Te vi balanceándote tan lejos
Te estaba buscando
En mi casa de naipes.
Te vi parado allí
En el furgón de equipaje
Y te abracé por toda una vida
Esperando que pudieras entender
Intenté darte razones
Intenté atarte a falsos desprecios
Pero me dejaste en una isla
Me dejaste en mi casa de naipes.
