Built On Sand
I use to love to be alone
Now I can't stand the sound of the silence
I use to think I had a home
But the change has made that thought grow quiet
So I'm holding on to you
For fear that I might fall
But holding on to you
Is like holding to nothing at all
I'm sick in the head
To think that I might drown
It is not your job to be my solid ground
He said
Take what you want
But you know
I'm not what you need
I could never be your shade from the burning sun
'Cause you know eventually everyone moves on
I'll let you sit here next to me till the break of dawn
But no matter how tight you hold
One day I'll be gone
Take what you want
But I'm not what you need
If solid ground is what you want
You need to understand
A castle never lasts if it's built on sand
What do you hear when you're alone
Am I in your head or am I silence
Was I ever on your throne
You say I think too much
'Cause my mind is violence
So I'm holding on to you
For fear that I might fall
But holding on to you
Is like holding to nothing at all
I'm sick in the head
To think that I might drown
It is not your job to be my solid ground
Take what you want
But you know
I'm not what you need
I could never be your shade from the burning sun
'Cause you know eventually everyone moves on
I'll let you sit here next to me till the break of dawn
But no matter how tight you hold
One day I'll be gone
Take what you want
But I'm not what you need
If solid ground is what you want
You need to understand
A castle never lasts if it's built on sand
Now I can't stand the sound of the silence
I use to think I had a home
But the change has made that thought grow quiet
So I'm holding on to you
For fear that I might fall
But holding on to you
Is like holding to nothing at all
I'm sick in the head
To think that I might drown
It is not your job to be my solid ground
He said
Take what you want
But you know
I'm not what you need
I could never be your shade from the burning sun
'Cause you know eventually everyone moves on
I'll let you sit here next to me till the break of dawn
But no matter how tight you hold
One day I'll be gone
Take what you want
But I'm not what you need
If solid ground is what you want
You need to understand
A castle never lasts if it's built on sand
What do you hear when you're alone
Am I in your head or am I silence
Was I ever on your throne
You say I think too much
'Cause my mind is violence
So I'm holding on to you
For fear that I might fall
But holding on to you

'Cause you know eventually everyone moves on
I'll let you sit here next to me till the break of dawn
But no matter how tight you hold
One day I'll be gone
Take what you want
But I'm not what you need
If solid ground is what you want
You need to understand
A castle never lasts if it's built on sand
