Crosswalk - Empire Lyrics

You built an empire on quicksand, and I watched it crumble down
You're not as smart as you think, but you still pulled me into the ground
I built a house on a foundation, It's not much but at least I'm alive
I know I'll heal but that doesn't mean that I don't feel the pain inside

And I'm slowly getting over you, but I tell myself that I shouldn't have to
It's not fair, cause I'm bleeding out my emotion for someone that didn't care

You're no use, I'm so confused, cause you would hide to look alive if you just walked in my shoes
But it's just digging me lower, and now that it's over
I know that you don't feel the same, you'll never feel the same

I want to stay in seventeen, but life is full of changing things
Like your motives and the things you say
Is it so close that you can taste?
The sweet success of the game you played
Fit to be turned into the enemy
I don't want to change but now I'm afraid
That you're my only remedy

You're no use, I'm so confused, cause you would hide to look alive if you just walked in my shoes
But It's just digging me lower, and now that it's over
I know that you don't feel the same. You'll never feel the same
You're no use, I'm so confused, cause you would hide to look alive if you just walked in my shoes
But It's just digging me lower, and now that it's over
I know that you don't feel the same. You'll never feel the same

I offered you my light, why did you have to steal it?
I thought you were perfection, but you were nowhere near it
You broke me down so many times that I can't feel it
Make sure this is in your left ear so you can hear it

I hope you find the feeling that you thought was missing
The memories we made I tried to preserve
I tried to tell you then but you weren't listening
And I hope you get the love that I never deserved

We built an empire on a daydream
I should've known that it wouldn't survive
Was it all worth it to leave it and burn it?
To live, and to break, then to die
