Queen of Spades

lyrics

Light a candle for the love we lost
And the love we threw away
I was crackling like a wire crossed
On a dark and windy day
Thinking about the things I said
And all I didn’t say
Even though it doesn’t matter

Write a letter that I’ll never send
To an address that never changed
Can we have a new love story
With words we rearrange?
I promise I can learn to bend
Just like I learned to stay the same.
Even though I know it doesn’t matter

We built a house of cards, with a losing hand.

Another year has closed its eyes
My days spent playing games
Losing was my alibi
It wasn’t me, it was the Queen of Spades
The way it feels to tell that lie
The way a candle feels the flame

We built a house of cards, with a losing hand.

Light a candle for the love we lost
And the love we threw away
I was crackling like a wire crossed
On a dark and windy day
