Final Card

[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
