Love remains in the darkest parts of us
Truth lies beaten against the rocks
You tell yourself that you’re not letting go
I can tell that you’re heart is closed
Someday maybe you’ll understand
This aint exactly what we planned
You can only play the cards in your hands
Don’t you know the house always wins
The truth we seek in our hour off defeat
Is a pale horse a phantom in our dreams
A dog barking to the void of the night
crying out for something like someone’s on the line
Someday maybe you’ll understand
This aint exactly what we planned
You can only play the cards in your hands
Don’t you know the house always wins
I close my eyes & I pretend
That maybe just maybe that this isn’t happening
Someday maybe you’ll understand
This aint exactly what we planned
You can only play the cards in your hands
Don’t you know the house always wins
