Lyrics
Hook:
Who we are is so much more than what we did along the way.
Verse 1:
She had everything, heath and happiness,
A house a home a family, love and tenderness.
It must have been too much, 'cause she up and walked away,
And all the way her man stood by beggin' her to stay.
Pre Chorus:
The joker's wild, the cards we're holding
You can't control...
Verse 2:
He had every reason, the evidence was in,
His painful tribulations, he took it on the chin,
He knew that life was twisted and more or less a game,
But all the while he waited with no one else to blame
Verse 3:
Life alone was crazy, the house was not a home,
Days became weeks became too much time alone
He tried to solve the problem, he numbed away his pain,
But he could not forget the truth that made things so insane.
Verse 4:
She just wouldn't listen, he gave her every chance.
He explained how he still loved her believing in romance.
The story's still unfolding, with hopefulness he waits,
Both wicked and delightful, all that love creates.
