My Card Castle

Who am I to trust

It’s not as if I’ve got the experience I claim to stand in

I’m just another pretender

Playing a part I could never have imagined

Saying my card castle is stronger than sand

But, is it ever

Has it ever been



So I keep up the act

Keep telling myself to watch my nerves

And, not to bat an eye to confess

That who I claim to be is not exactly the person I am



You can blame it on my insecurities

But, that’s just another excuse to save me from truth’s hand

And, I’ve never been one to shake and look in the eye at the same time

And, that may be the only truth I can ever give away

So, take it with the harvest’s grain

That the bitterness of a sweet goodbye

Is nothing more than salt in a wound

But, there I go again, there’s my excuse

So I don’t have to feel the true weight of the bad news

That I’m afraid to fall in love

That I’m afraid I may have fallen in love with someone other than you

And, that terrifies the deepest parts of my soul

And, that’s the truth for once

And, that’s the truth for all to know
