Discard –
Russ Glenn/ Starshell Music (ASCAP)
Everyone’s waiting for your discard
You just stare at your hand and wonder how you got this far
Everyone can see you’re a broken heart
Your Poker Face didn’t used to be this hard
But it’s all in the deck
In the hand that you’re dealt
The way that you felt (when I touched you)
It’s all just a game they say,
except when you play,
it doesn’t feel that way
Everyone’s waiting for you to open your mouth
To let the truth be known, to let the pain fall out
Everyone can feel it’s a lonely life
But I’ll attach to you, for a little while
But it’s all in the deck
In the hand that you’re dealt
The way that you felt (when I touched you)
It’s all just a game they say,
except when you play,
it doesn’t feel that way
And your face gets wild
Just for a while
I love to see you smile
And your eyes get wild
Just for a while
I love to see you smile
Everyone’s waiting for you to fall apart
You just stare through their masks, disassembling their hearts
Everyone knows it’s a beautiful life
So just hold my hands, love me through this night
But it’s all in the deck
In the hand that you’re dealt
The way that you felt (when I touched you)
It’s all just a game they say,
except when you play,
it doesn’t feel that way
