When I was young, I built a house

And I thought, the structure was sound

But just as I, I turned around

Something invisible knocked it to the ground

Sometimes life's gonna move too fast

You don't have time to be looking back

The storms of life, they come up fast

Maybe this time my house will last

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Now I'm grown and I'm still building

But this time, it's a little different

'Cuz now I know, what's gonna pass

And people break, like they're made of glass

I have never, found the person

People say, is gonna give me purpose

So, I'll wander, this crazy earth

Til God decides I return to dirt

And the wind keeps on blowin'

And I pray, my structure's holdin'

But it always falls, and it falls down hard

And so, I build another house of cards

I build myself another house of cards

Now I'm grey, with no children

So, I'm gonna try, to pass down some wisdom

I hope you know, you can share the load

Please don't go, through this life alone

I had my run, was it a good one

One thing's for sure, nothing's certain

I walked down a lonely boulevard

I may broken and a little scarred

But I think it's time, I leave my house of cards

I think it's time, I leave my house of cards
