Living in a house of cards 
Praying the wind doesn't blow too hard 
Giving in to differences 
Straining to keep up appearances 
Making believe the thread can be saved 
You're aching to leave but deathly afraid of letting go 
The threads entangled you so 
Jealousies and legal fees 
Running away like two refugees 
Shadowed eyes and alibis 
Tell you too late you've been victimized 
Freedom is near but seems to elude you 
Trying to change your dreams into what your needs allow 
It should be easy by now 
Why is love always the last to know 
Falling back on better days 
Trying your damnedest to laugh 
You've thrown those childish dreams away 
It's over, you say, still you ask 
Why is love always the last to know 
Falling back on better days 
Trying your damnedest to laugh 
You've thrown those childish dreams away 
It's over, you say, still you ask 
Why is love always the last to know
