[Verse 1]
We built a castle out of sand
A fragile dream with trembling hands
Your whispered love was just a lie
A fleeting spark that passed me by
[Verse 2]
Your shadow danced with someone new
While I was blinded
Chasing you
Each broken promise
Each cruel word
Left me unravelled and unheard
[Chorus]
Oh it hurts
The aching sting
Of love untrue
Of broken strings
You tore my heart
You played your part
And now I cry in the dark
[Verse 3]
The nights were cold
Your touch was too
Your soul a web I stumbled through
I gave my all yet stood alone
Inside this cage of glass and stone
[Bridge]
Why'd you let me dream in vain
Only to drown me in this rain
You smiled as I fell apart
Left shattered pieces of my heart
[Chorus]
Oh it hurts
The aching sting
Of love untrue
Of broken strings
You tore my heart
You played your part
And now I cry in the dark
