Lyrics
They warned against me, said I was a wild card
But if I’m a joker, then I’m also the knave of hearts
Deal out the deck and we can sort this out face to face
Beneath my armor, I could offer you love in spades
The devil is paper thin
And I’m still out gambling
I place my bets again
The others didn’t stick around or follow through
I resist temptation and put a fence between me and you
It is my dungeon, I’m underground with the only key
but now I’m worried I’m buried in far too deep
The devil is paper thin
And I’m still out gambling
I place my bets, I roll love
The daylight pours through my hard diamond skin
Designed to not let more suffering in
But now I want a whole world I’m without
So take my hand and pull me out
The devil is paper thin
And I’m still out gambling
I place my bets, with no regrets, again.
