CASTLE IN THE SAND

You traded your breath for hope

Just so I'd be saved

When you died you were thinking of me

And knew your heart had to break

Oh I'd gladly die

Just to see your face

Or maybe I

Just don't want this pain

Your gaze is evergreen

I thought I'd never look away

But all the empty things are shiny

So with the wind I sway

Oh I'd gladly die

To rid my chest of this decay

Or maybe I

Just can't live with the shame

The cobblestones know your fame

The mountains tremble at your name

So how could I be defeated today?

Your lips quivered when you said

I'd never meet that grave again

But I still build my castle in the sand

I'm so afraid I'll replace

An idol with something new

And mistake it for repentance

And believe what isn't true

Oh I'd rather try

To cling tighter to you

Or maybe I

Don't want the truth

The cobblestones know your fame

The mountains tremble at your name

So how could I be defeated today?

Your lips quivered when you said

I'd never meet that grave again

Why do I still build my castle in the sand?
