Cards

They said sweetheart stand down we don’t want to know your name
Honey honey stand back, and let the adults play this game
Oh, this world don’t care if your hearts gonna tear
Just do what everyone thinks is best
My best tip if the cards you’ve been dealt are all ripped
Is just keep them to your chest
Keep them, keep them, keep them
I said keep them to your chest

I said I know I’m broke but what else can I do but play?
If I play these hearts right will one of them let me stay?
They said that is absurd you’ll get what you deserve
And do what everyone thinks is best
Just sing a safe song you better not do wrong
Those weights belong on your chest
Keep them, keep them, keep them
I said keep them to your chest

What’d you say, what was that? You didn’t think I’d do it did you?
What’d you say, what was that? Well never mind I’m having fun

I swear I tried I tried
To write something brand new
To be something, someone
Before the world and you
I said f**k it, I’m right where I belong
It’s my right to be wrong
Angel or demon

What do you want me to say this heart would screw up on my sleeve
Pray behind ribs it will stay where it cannot break or breathe
Just sing a safe song you better not do wrong, right?
And do what everyone thinks is right
Thing is I think I’m naive enough now to play these ripped cards right
I think I’m naive enough now to play these ripped cards right x2

What’d you say, what was that? You didn’t think I’d do it did you?
What’d you say, what was that? Well never mind I’m having fun

I swear I tried I tried
To write something brand new
To be something, someone
Before the world and you
I said f**k it, I’m right where I belong
It’s my right to be wrong
Angel or demon

I’m loving the fear in your face right now I’m loving the fear in your eyes

What’d you say, what was that? You didn’t think I’d do it did you?
What’d you say, what was that? Well never mind I’m having fun

I swear I tried I tried
To write something brand new
To be something, someone
Before the world and you
I said f**k it, I’m right where I belong
It’s my right to be wrong
Angel or demon
And I'm loving the fear in your face right now
