Amy Speace - Not the Heartless Kind lyrics

What if I stacked the cards, hid the ace next to my heart Playing out the game with a steady-handed art What if I left the closet open, skeletons and all Invited in the press, leaving you to take the fall? What if I scratched below the surface enough to open up the bricks Decades of desertion too eroded for a fix What if I did all the things I swore I'd never do Just to get me off the hook and leave the blame with you I built this house with my own hands I can tear it down crush these bricks to sand You sat there on the sofa as the roof fell from the sky I could leave you in the rubble but I'm not the Heartless Kind What if I broke all of the mirrors just to hide my fears Used the broken gla** to wipe away my tears? Then I'd leave you with the furniture, the photos in the frames All I'd take in my bag is this mess that I made Chorus So I'll prop up the destruction, tidy up before I go Put away the cards but leave an ace in the hole I will pack up all the memories, the ones faded and blue Seal them in the boxes that I moved in here with you And maybe we'll unpack them, put things back in their place When broken love is mended by a whole lot of grace Chorus
