not the heartless kind - amy speace lyrics

what if i stacked the cards, hid the ace next to my heart
playing out the game with a steady-handed art
what if i left the closet open, skeletons and all
invited in the press, leaving you to take the fall?

what if i scratched below the surface enough to open up the bricks
decades of desertion too eroded for a fix
what if i did all the things i swore i’d never do
just to get me off the hook and leave the blame with you

i built this house with my own hands
i can tear it down crush these bricks to sand
you sat there on the sofa as the roof fell from the sky
i could leave you in the rubble but i’m not the heartless kind
what if i broke all of the mirrors just to hide my fears
used the broken gl-ss to wipe away my tears?
then i’d leave you with the furniture, the photos in the frames
all i’d take in my bag is this mess that i made

chorus
so i’ll prop up the destruction, tidy up before i go
put away the cards but leave an ace in the hole
i will pack up all the memories, the ones faded and blue
seal them in the boxes that i moved in here with you
and maybe we’ll unpack them, put things back in their place
when broken love is mended by a whole lot of grace

chorus
