Castle of sand

(Verse 1)

I'd walk through fire, barefoot on burning coals,

Just to see your smile, to help you reach your goals.

I built you a kingdom, stone by aching stone,

But all I got was silence, a heart turned to stone.

(Chorus)

I'd wrestle a hurricane, calm a raging sea,

But you wouldn't even notice, you wouldn't notice me.

I offered you my soul, laid bare within my hand,

But you crushed it like a castle, a fragile castle of sand.

(Verse 2)

I climbed the highest mountain, screamed your name to the sky,

But your ears were deafened, as I watched our love die.

I painted the world in colors, vibrant, bold, and bright,

But you were colorblind, lost in the fading light.

(Chorus)

I'd wrestle a hurricane, calm a raging sea,

But you wouldn't even notice, you wouldn't notice me.

I offered you my soul, laid bare within my hand,

But you crushed it like a castle, a fragile castle of sand.

(Bridge)

I gave you the sun, the moon, the stars, a universe untold,

You gave me back a shadow, a story left untold.

I thought our love was a fortress, unbreakable and grand,

But it was just a castle, a fragile castle of sand.

(Chorus)

I'd wrestle a hurricane, calm a raging sea,

But you wouldn't even notice, you wouldn't notice me.

I offered you my soul, laid bare within my hand,

But you crushed it like a castle, a fragile castle of sand.

(Outro)

A castle of sand, washed away by the waves,

Leaving me here broken, lost in love's empty caves.
