I put our love by the beach
And built us a moat to surround everything
I guess it wasn't deep enough to keep out your waves

I gave my heart, brick by brick and we still caved in
And now you're gone and all I'm left with is a dusty wind

Molded on a barren land
Holding on as best we can
But I guess we couldn't stand
In a castle made of sand
Every time I built it up
We would tear it back down again
No we never had a chance
Living in a castle of sand

Shame on me
I should have know it was only a dream
We wasn't ready for the real to settle in

But I gave my heart, brick by brick and we still caved in
And now you're gone and all I'm left with is a dusty wind

Cause we were
Molded on a barren land
Holding on as best we can
But I guess we couldn't stand
In a castle made of sand
Every time I built it up
We would tear it back down again
No we never had a chance
Living in a castle of sand

Castle of sand
Living in a castle of sand

Molded on a barren land
Holding on as best we can
But I guess we couldn't stand
In a castle made of sand
Every time I built it up
We would tear it back down again
No we never had a chance
Living in a castle of sand
