[Intro: AJ]
Oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1: AJ]
She keeps her secrets in her eyes
She wraps the truth inside her lies
Just when I can't say what she's done to me
She comes to me
And leads me back to paradise
She's so hard to hold
But I can't let go
[Chorus: Nick with All, Nick & Howie]
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She'll dance away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh when she smiles, she smiles
[Verse 2: Brian & All]
Maybe I'd fight it if I could
(Maybe I'd fight it if I could)
It hurts so bad but feels so good
She opens up just like a rose to me
When she's close to me (ah-ah)
Anything she'd ask me to, I would
It's out of control
But I can't let go
[Chorus: Nick with All, Nick]
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She'll dance away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh-no, when she smiles
[Bridge: Howie, AJ & All]
When she looks at me
(When she looks at me)
I get so weak
[Chorus: All, Nick, (AJ) & Howie]
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She'll dance away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh when she smiles
When she smiles
She smiles (when she smiles)
[Outro: Nick & Howie]
When she smiles
Oh when she smiles
When she smiles
Oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1: AJ]
She keeps her secrets in her eyes
She wraps the truth inside her lies
Just when I can't say what she's done to me
She comes to me
And leads me back to paradise
She's so hard to hold
But I can't let go
[Chorus: Nick with All, Nick & Howie]
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She'll dance away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh when she smiles, she smiles
[Verse 2: Brian & All]
Maybe I'd fight it if I could
(Maybe I'd fight it if I could)
It hurts so bad but feels so good
She opens up just like a rose to me
When she's close to me (ah-ah)
Anything she'd ask me to, I would
It's out of control
But I can't let go
[Chorus: Nick with All, Nick]
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She'll dance away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh-no, when she smiles
[Bridge: Howie, AJ & All]
When she looks at me
(When she looks at me)
I get so weak
[Chorus: All, Nick, (AJ) & Howie]
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She'll dance away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh when she smiles
When she smiles
She smiles (when she smiles)
[Outro: Nick & Howie]
When she smiles
Oh when she smiles
When she smiles
