THIS HOUSE OF CARDS (IS FALLING DOWN)

I'm a parade,
You're the rain.
If I say black,
You say white.
You put me down,
You cause me pain.
Boy, it just ain't right.

You're a thorn in my side,
A blow to my pride.
You're the parasite
Eats me up inside.
You used to love me,
Now nothing's right.
No, it ain't right.

This house of cards
Is falling down.
Can't think, can't sleep.
I'm about to drown
In a sea of misery.
This sea of misery.

This house of cards
Is falling apart.
Can't find a way
To melt the ice in your heart.
And it's killing me,
It's about killing me.

It used to be
You couldn't wait
To come home to me.
Now you come in late,
Got nothing to say.
It's like you want to
Drive me away.

I used to have the key
That opened your heart.
Now each day we grow
Farther apart.
You treat everyone else
Better than me.
Why do you cause such misery?

This house of cards
Is falling down.
Can't think, can't sleep.
I'm about to drown.
In a sea of misery,
In this sea of misery.

This house of cards
Is falling apart. Can't find a way
To melt the ice in your heart.
It's killing me,
It's really killing me.

Our house of cards
Is coming down.
It's killing me,
About to drown.
Our house of cards is
Falling, falling, falling
Down, down, down....
