[Verse 1]
Your precious smile begins to fade
Like the warmth of sunlight in the pouring rain
And I have this feeling in my heart that
We're growing close just to fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I let go?
When in your heart I built my home
So how can I move on? Yeah

[Chorus]
I wish I was stronger
We built our love on a house of cards
One slip away from fallin'
And at the bottom here we are
We're trying to hold on
When we both know how this story will end
It ends in disaster
So can we skip over the bad part?
And hope for a happy ever after?

[Verse 2]
We tell our friends that we're doing fine
But we both know that we're not alright
And I fake a smile to try and hide
All this pain that I feel inside
That I feel inside, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
How can I let go?
When in your heart, I built my home
So how can I move on? Yeah

[Chorus]
I wish I was stronger
We built our love on a house of cards
One slip away from falling'
And at the bottom here we are
We're trying to hold on
When we both know how this story will end
It ends in disaster
So can we skip over the bad part?
And hope for a happy ever after?

[Outro]
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
Is one out there?

When you were playing that record
What were you thinking?
I'm still lost
