Lyrics
From the start,
Beginning of the relationship or situation
This was a game you'd thrown
The situation was initially seen as a game
Did you not think I could win on my own?
Questioning the belief in the other's ability to succeed independently
Or were you afraid
Exploring the fear of being left alone if the speaker wins
My victory would leave you all alone?
Concern about potential isolation after achieving victory
I said, "I trust who you are"
Expressing trust in the other person's true nature
From there, I let the gambling start
Allowing for risks or uncertainties to enter the relationship
Now I'm playing roulette
Engaging in a risky game with even chances
With fifty-fifty odds
Describing the odds in the game as fifty-fifty
I know it's hard
Acknowledging the difficulty of dismantling the relationship
To take this house apart
Reflecting on the challenge of breaking down the constructed "house"
But we should've known
Realization of a mistake in building a fragile foundation
When we built a house of cards
Mentioning the creation of a vulnerable structure
I wish our love was true
Expressing a desire for genuine love
In all those days of blue
Recalling past moments of sadness or difficulty
You gave me half your heart
Highlighting unequal emotional investment
And I only gave part of me to you
Admitting to not giving one's full self in return
Apologizing when I cried
Expressing apologies as a means to maintain satisfaction
Just to keep me satisfied
Describing emotional compromise for the sake of contentment
A royal flush means nothing to me
Indifference to material success, seeking honesty instead
All I want is honesty
Emphasizing the importance of truth in the relationship
I know it's hard
Reiterating the challenge of ending the relationship
To take this house apart
Highlighting the foreseeable difficulty in dismantling the "house"
We should've known
Reiterating the realization of the mistake in building a fragile foundation
When we built a house of cards
Mentioning the creation of a vulnerable structure
I wish our love was true
Expressing a desire for genuine love
In all those days of blue
Recalling past moments of sadness or difficulty
You gave me half your heart
Highlighting unequal emotional investment
And I only gave part of me
Admitting to not giving one's full self in return
You hid behind walls of paper
Describing the partner's emotional barriers and fragile support
And you made our floors with glass
Pointing out the fragile and transparent nature of the foundation
Would you call your love
Posing a question about the nature of the partner's love
Self-less or selfish?
Questioning whether the love is selfless or selfish
I wish our love was true
Expressing a desire for genuine love
In all those days of blue
Recalling past moments of sadness or difficulty
You gave me half your heart
Highlighting unequal emotional investment
And I only gave part of me to you
Admitting to not giving one's full self in return
