Sandcastles
(Verse 1)
We built a castle, high on a dream,
Thought we were endless, or so it seemed.
Each word we spoke was a brick in the wall,
But I should’ve known, it would crumble and fall.
(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you my heart, I gave you my trust,
But love built on hope turns to dust.
(Chorus)
We built a castle, so high, so grand,
But it fell apart, just grains of sand.
The tide rolled in, it washed it away,
Now I’m standing alone where we used to stay.
It wasn’t stone, it wasn’t gold,
Just a fragile story we tried to hold.
We built a castle, that’s why it hurts so bad,
When it fell, I realized—it was all just sand.
(Verse 2)
I saw the cracks, but I turned away,
Pretended the waves wouldn’t reach us someday.
Your promises shimmered like the summer sun,
But they faded so fast, now the dream is done.
(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you my all, I thought you were mine,
But love without roots doesn’t survive time.
(Chorus)
We built a castle, so high, so grand,
But it fell apart, just grains of sand.
The tide rolled in, it washed it away,
Now I’m standing alone where we used to stay.
It wasn’t stone, it wasn’t gold,
Just a fragile story we tried to hold.
We built a castle, that’s why it hurts so bad,
When it fell, I realized—it was all just sand.
(Bridge)
Every wave was a warning, every crack was a sign,
But I was blind to the truth—I called it divine.
Now I’m left with the ruins, a heart in my hand,
Staring at the shore, where we drew our plans.
(Final Chorus)
We built a castle, so high, so grand,
But it fell apart, just grains of sand.
The tide rolled in, it washed it away,
Now I’m standing alone where we used to stay.
It wasn’t stone, it wasn’t gold,
Just a fragile story we couldn’t hold.
We built a castle, that’s why it hurts so bad,
When it fell, I realized—it was all just sand.
(Outro)
Now the ocean’s quiet, the waves at rest,
But I still feel the ache in my chest.
We built a castle, I thought it would stand,
But it was only ever made of sand.
sheesh
