[AJ] She keeps her secrets In her eyes She wraps the truth Inside her lies Just when I can't say What she's done to me She comes to me And leads me back to paradise She's so hard to hold But I can't let go [Chorus] I'm a house of cards In a hurricane A reckless ride In the pouring rain She cuts me and the pain Is all I wanna feel She'll dance away just like a child She drives me crazy Drives me wild But I'm helpless when she smiles [Howie] She smiles [Brian] Maybe I'd fight if I could It hurts so bad But feels so good She opens up just like A rose to me When she's close to me Anything she'd ask me to I would It's out of control But I can't let go [Repeat Chorus] When she looks at me I get so weak [Repeat Chorus] [Thanks to Compu (mostafa7000@yahoo.com) for these lyrics] [Thanks to perishablu@hotmail.com for correcting these lyrics]
