[Verse 1] Dim lights in a tavern cards on the table \ An old man shuffles, his eyes gleaming bright \ He lays out my future each card tells a tale \ Of love and of loss in the dead of the night \ [Chorus] Oh, the Queen of Hearts, she knows it all \ Life's troubles and lovers who fall \ Should've heeded her warning my heart's in two \ Queen of Hearts if I'd only listened to you \ (Queen of Hearts if I'd only listened to you) [Verse 2] I laughed off his words thought it all just a game \ But fate had its plans when I walked through my doorframe \ My lover was leaving, bags packed by the door \ The old man's prediction came true to its core \ [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] Now I'm back at that table with cards in my hand \ Hoping for wisdom, a chance to understand \ The Queen of Hearts whispers, "Don't let love slip away" \ This time I'll listen, hold on come what may \ [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 3] The cards they keep falling, revealing my path \ Memories of heartache, in the aftermath \ I see now the wisdom in that old man's eyes \ The Queen of Hearts holds the truth, not the lies \ [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 4] With newfound awareness, I step out the door \ The night air is crisp, like never before \ The Queen's lesson learned, I'll guard my heart well \ But open to love, only time will tell \ [Repeat Chorus] [Outro] Queen of Hearts, I'm finally listening to you Queen of Hearts, I'm finally listening to you
