[Verse 1] Her cards are always laid bare No masks to mend or repair Mercy runs thin in her stare You win or you learn there
[Pre-Chorus] Only one rule in this game The heart always sees first Sometimes it’s a blessing Sometimes it’s a curse
[Chorus] She always leaves a chance For the final card (oh) Keeps a little space For the foolish and the scarred Her deck is thick With the things she never said So much is decided By the last one left unsaid
[Verse 2] She laughs when the stakes get high Shrugs when the good hands die Reads every tremor and sigh Still asks you to try
[Chorus] She always leaves a chance For the final card (yeah) Room for one more truth One more fragile Wild regard Her deck is thick With the things you’re scared to show So much is forgiven If you’re brave enough to go
[Bridge] Lay it down Lay it down Every fear Every shard Every shame in your veins Every cracked Crooked part She’s waiting on the moment You stop playing it hard Everything can change On that final card
[Chorus] She always leaves a chance For the final card Reaching out a hand To your shaking Stubborn heart Her deck is thick With the faith you think you lack So much is beginning When you lay your last guard back
Estilo de música
Intimate acoustic ballad, female vocals. Close-miked nylon-string guitar with soft fingerpicking; light upright bass sliding in on the pre-chorus. Chorus lifts with warm pad swells and delicate piano doubles, plus airy stacked harmonies. Subtle brushed snare in the second chorus, then a hushed, held-out final line that lingers in reverb.
