White Picket Fence

[Verse 1]
You're the queen of hearts
I'm just a joker with a diamond
You were hoping for a full house
I guess that I was just lying to myself

[Verse 2]
You deserve a king
A man to put you on a throne
Yeah, I wish that could be me, babe
But, when it's wrong, it's wrong, no

[Chorus]
Never build a white picket fence
Around a house of cards
Even though you want to, babe
Just because you came this far
No, never build a white picket fence
Around a house of cards
'Cause the first time that the wind blows, babe
Thе whole thing's gonna fall apart
So let's get out whilе we both still got a chance
Before our first kiss and our first dance
And a white picket fence

[Verse 3]
You drove down to Austin
You got some healing from your sister
I packed up the U-Haul
Second guessing 'cause I miss ya

[Verse 4]
What am I supposed to tell our friends?
I guess you're gonna keep the dog
You know I'm one foot out the door, babe
I know it isn't what you want, but

[Chorus]
You can't build a white picket fence
Around a house of cards
Even though you want to, babe
Just because you came this far
No, never build a white picket fence
Around a house of cards
'Cause the first time that the wind blows, babe
The whole thing's gonna fall apart
So let's get out while we both still got a chance
Before our first kiss and our first dance
And a white picket fence

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
No, never build a white picket fence
Around two broken hearts
Just because you're scared to leave
Just because it seems too hard
No, never build a white picket fence
Around a house of cards
'Cause the first time that the wind blows, babe
The whole thing's gonna fall apart
So let's get out while we both still got a chance
Before our first kid and our first dance
And a white picket fence

[Outro]
Yeah, a white picket fence
