Castles made of sand,
What you built for me,
Took me by the hand,
I was blind to see.
Then you fall down,
And sink right to the bottom of my dreams.
(Chorus)
Now the dust has cleared,
And I can see plainly that
You weren't worth my tears,
And your empty promises
Echo in my ears,
Now that your castles are falling down,
You'll find out, I am stronger.
Time of your life,
You whispered to me,
You held me by your side,
I can barely breathe.
All the love I had
Was slowly growing, bursting at the seams.
I never thought that
The moments that we shared were never as they seemed.
(Chorus) 2x
Castles made of sand,
What you built for me.
Took me by the hand,
I was blind to see.
