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
