feat. Taylor Swift

How was I to know?
It’s a crazy thing,
I showed you my hand
And you still let me win.

And who was I to say
That this was meant to be?
The road that was broken
Brought us together.

Chorus:
     And I know
     You could fall for a thousand kings
     And hearts 
     That would give you a diamond ring.

     When I fold,
     You see the best in me –
     The joker and the queen.  

I’ve been played before,
If you hadn’t guessed,
So I kept my cards close
To my foolproof vest.

But you called my bluff
And saw through all my tells,
And then you went all in
And we left together.

Chorus:
     And I know
     You think that what makes a king
     Is gold,
     A palace and diamond rings.

     When I fold,
     You see the best in me –
     The joker and the queen.

     And I know
     You could fall for a thousand kings
     And hearts 
     That would give you a diamond ring.

     When I folded,
     You saw the best in me –
     The joker and the queen,
     The joker and the queen.
