Broken House of Cards

[Verse]
She built the walls out of whispers and lies
A castle of dreams under darkened skies
Each touch was a match to my paper-thin soul
Left me in ashes
Nowhere to go
[Chorus]
A house of cards she called our home
Every piece shaken by winds unknown
She took my heart
Left a ghost in its place
Her smile a shadow
Her love a trace
[Verse 2]
She danced on the edge of my fragile mind
A storm that raged
One of her own design
I crawled through the wreckage of her cruel facade
Searching for me in the fields she scarred
[Chorus]
A house of cards she called our home
Every piece shaken by winds unknown
She took my heart
Left a ghost in its place
Her smile a shadow
Her love a trace
[Bridge]
Now I'm picking up the shards
Restoring the man
But the mirror reflects a fractured plan
Her laugh still echoes like a hollow embrace
I fight to erase it
But parts remain
[Verse 3]
The scars won't fade
They burn deep within
A mark of the battle I couldn't win
But maybe healing doesn't mean I'm whole
Maybe it's learning to carry the toll
