Isn't it something, dear
How these promises they melt
Darling right off our tongue
Turn right into something else
All these words they burn and ache
Every move a new attack
We search for the fire escape
So we don't have to take them back
And I've been having dreams about
The way we used to be
When all I couldn't live without
Was you right next to me
Now we run through the motions
And act like we don't know
The castle that we built
Was made of sand instead of stone
Didn't meant to waste your time
Didn't try to part the sea
Didn't try to talk you down
Had no time to waste on me
I can hardly say your name
Hardly see your favorite place
Haunted by these memories
Feelings that I can't escape
Now I'm picking up the pieces of
The man I used to be
And I'll chase down my demons while
You're lying down to sleep
We run through the motions
There's no way we could know
The castle that we built
Was made of sand instead of stone
