[Verse]
Shadows creeping where the sunlight fades
Lonely whispers in the masquerade
I built a castle out of brittle sand
Watched it crumble right out of my hand
[Chorus]
I used 2 pretend that I was happy
But I know that those days were some of the saddest of my life
Trying 2 keep something that was never mine
Now I know sad days so sad
[Verse 2]
Rain keeps falling though the sky’s gone dry
Echoes linger from the tears I cried
Held on tight to a dream that slipped away
Now I’m drowning in the words I couldn’t say
[Chorus]
I used 2 pretend that I was happy
But I know that those days were some of the saddest of my life
Trying 2 keep something that was never mine
Now I know sad days so sad
[Bridge]
All the cracks in my soul they shine through the seams
A broken heart still haunts my dreams
I chased the stars but they burned out cold
Left me searching for a hand to hold
[Chorus]
I used 2 pretend that I was happy
But I know that those days were some of the saddest of my life
Trying 2 keep something that was never mine
Now I know sad days so sad
