[Verse 1]
I'm holding onto hope
I'm hoping that it don't run out
'Cause I'm getting close
I can almost see them now

[Pre-Chorus]
No, it's never over, dust off my shoulders
'Til it all come crumbling
Call me the joker, I wouldn't blame ya
I'm not good at gambling

[Chorus]
Oh, living in a house of cards
Working for the queen of hearts
She won't ever let go, let go
'Til she's tearing me apart
Promised me the moon and stars
But all I ever got were these scars
Repeating like an echo, echo

[Post-Chorus]
'Til I'm burning in the dark
Dark

[Verse 2]
Need a little light
Even if it's just one flame
Don't gotta be bright
Honestly, that's all it takes
[Pre-Chorus]
No, it's never over, dust off my shoulders
'Til it all come crumbling (Oh)
Call me the joker, I wouldn't blame ya
I'm not good at gambling

[Chorus]
Oh, living in a house of cards
Working for the queen of hearts
She won't ever let go, let go
'Til she's tearing me apart
Promised me the moon and stars (Oh)
But all I ever got were these scars
Repeating like an echo, echo

[Post-Chorus]
'Til I'm burning in the dark (Burning in the dark)
Dark (Burning in the dark)
Burning in the dark
Dark
