My heart is black and upside down
That’s why I’m bound to fail
Wrong colours woven ‘round my crown
So trust cannot prevail
They judge me by apparency
That’s why I never win As feelings serve as currency
This game turns into sin
I’ve been the joker many times
As lover in disguise
An ace up sleeves in sweetest crimes
And proudly paid the price
But never did I win the game
Or meet the Jack of Spades
So, I play on with doubtful fame
And watch how colour fades
This black heart beating in my chest
Is begging me to change my cards
I wish that I could find some rest
And one time… be the queen of hearts
