[Verse 1] Late at night, the phone stays still I keep waiting, against my will “Maybe he’s busy,” I tell myself Another little lie I hide away At our old place, I saw you there Laughing with somebody, unaware I never wanted to see that smile The one you used to give to me all the while [Pre-Chorus] All the dreams we built together All the plans we called forever Slip right through my open hands Like footprints fading in the sand [Chorus] Sandcastle, sandcastle We built our love with our own hands One little wave, one little lie And everything just washed away Sandcastle, sandcastle Was I a fool to believe in you? Now there's another in your heart And I'm the one you're leaving behind [Verse 2] Your shirt still carries someone else's scent A sweet perfume I never meant “There's nothing there,” you held me tight But even your arms don't feel right tonight I loved your voice, the way you'd smile The little things that made it worthwhile I wish I could forget them all But every memory makes the deeper fall [Pre-Chorus] I could blame you, maybe I'd feel better I could hate you, if I could forget ya But the hardest truth I have to face Is that I still love you anyway [Chorus] Sandcastle, sandcastle We built our love with our own hands One little wave, one little lie And everything just washed away Sandcastle, sandcastle I believed your “forever” too You slowly let my fingers go And all our dreams were swept away [Bridge] If I could go back to that day Would I have seen the signs along the way? Should I have asked you where you'd been? Or smiled and let the story spin? Maybe ignorance would've been kinder Maybe love would've lasted longer But now I know, I know... No more tears... No more lies... There's no going back... No, not this time... [Final Chorus] Sandcastle, sandcastle I loved you till the very end That's why I hear it when it falls The sound of everything we had Sandcastle, sandcastle If I could hate you, I'd be free But I can't even say goodbye 'Cause part of me still belongs to you The castle that we built together Is fading with the tide Sandcastle... There's no going back.
