lyrics

Open doors, broken hearts.
Our life is just a game of cards.
You throw your trumps and aces,
My hand is getting weak.
Why should I care which card you gonna pick?

Hazy shadows, wicked dreams.
Our life is never what it seems.
Your lips are soft and tender
But every smile you fake.
Why should I care which move you gonna make?

Cry for love and make my day,
Stay with love but stay away.

I wake up way too early to go brush my teeth,
My reflection is broken but at least it still exists,
Microwave dings and my breakfast is ready,
I take a bite of this and I’m stuffed already.
I pick up my feelings, how heavy – damn,
My friends always complain how cold hearted I am,
But I don’t mind, I feel fine, still alive, cloud nine,
Still a bit of time before the last supper of mine.
This is the place I was born, the place I was raised,
How I survived this long I am still amazed,
I was always told that I gotta stay strong,
I gotta teach myself to tell from right to wrong.
I gotta be educated, liberated, sophisticated lady,
But how on earth do I get there already?
Decision is torture, uncertainty is pain,
That is how badly you have messed up my brain.

Cry for love and make my day,
Stay with love but stay away.

Odd or even, win or lose.
Should I care which way you gonna chose?
We’re meant to be together
But we’re so miles apart,
My mind resists to let me trust my heart…
