Lyrics
Don't mess with a house of cards
Caution against disturbing something fragile and easily destroyed
One wrong move, it'll all blow away
Any misstep or error could cause everything to collapse
Don't mess with a house of cards
Reiteration of warning not to interfere with the fragile structure
My house of cards
Referring to personal vulnerability or delicate situation
Don't keep it in
Advice to express emotions rather than keeping them inside
Now that's some sage advice (yeah right)
Sarcastic remark about the suggested advice being unrealistic
But it's easier if I go to my room and turn down the lights
Seeking solace or comfort by isolating oneself
Bad days never felt so bad when you were here
Hard times felt worse in the absence of someone important
I hope my mom, sister, and my dad can't see my fear
Desire to conceal fear from family members
And I know better than to lie
Acknowledging the importance of honesty
But I ain't perfect
Admitting imperfections despite efforts
I keep trying to get to the other side
Struggling to overcome obstacles or difficulties
Don't mess with a house of cards
Reinforcing the warning about fragility
One wrong move, it'll all blow away
Reiteration of the consequence of a single mistake
Don't mess with a house of cards
Stressing personal vulnerability or fragility
My house of cards
Referring again to personal vulnerability or delicate situation
Didn't say I was scared, maybe I'm a private girl
Possibly indicating a preference for privacy or introversion
Woke up the next day and made my own new world
Moving forward independently after a difficult time
I said bad days never felt so bad when you were here
Reflecting on the intensified difficulty when someone significant is absent
I hope my mom, sister, and my dad can't see my tears
Desire to hide tears from family members
And I know better than to lie
Reaffirming the value of honesty despite imperfections
But I ain't perfect
Admitting fallibility despite ongoing efforts
I keep trying to get to the other side
Continuing efforts to overcome challenges
Don't mess with a house of cards
Warning against disrupting the fragile structure once more
One wrong move, it'll all blow away
Reiterating the consequence of a single mistake leading to collapse
Don't mess with a house of cards
Stressing personal vulnerability or fragility again
My house of cards
Reiteration of personal vulnerability or delicate situation
