overcome – house of cards lyrics
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.
