It's late at night the world's asleep
And I'm trying not to think
I take some pills 'cuz my mind bleeds
I'm thinking what is wrong with meBecause the only thing I know
About honesty
Is every lie I've told
That you believedI'm afraid to be alone
I'm afraid that one day you'll find outAnd you'll be amazed at the secrets I keep
You'll be amazed at my mouth full of lies
Well, I'm too afraid to come clean
'Cuz my life's still free in the house of cardsNow I can't look you in your eyes
Because the guilt is killing me
I try to disconnect my heart again
Just so I can breatheI wanna be myself again
But I just can't 'cuzI'm afraid to be alone
I'm afraid that one day you'll find outAnd you'll be amazed at the secrets I keep
You'll be amazed at my mouth full of lies
Well, I'm too afraid to come clean
'Cuz my life's still free in the house of cardsIt's such a shame what I've become
After years of breaking down
My whole life has come undone
'Cuz I'm trying to fake it allAnd I know that you love someone
But that someone isn't me
Well, [Incomprehensible]And you'll be amazed at the secrets I keep
You'll be amazed at my mouth full of lies
Well, I'm too afraid to come clean
'Cuz my life's still free in the house of cardsYou'll be amazed
You'll be amazed
