Sandcastle

I'm in search of stopping searching
Cause I've been trying too hard not to try too hard
I'm not quiet
And when I am they say I'm not myself
Always
Giving more than I can give
And my old ways are coming back to haunt me like a cold case
So I'm left with nobody else
But me

I wear my heart on my sleeve
But people here wear tank tops and dreams
Dress opinions on me
And it's hard
It's too hard to see through the crowd

I don't wanna wait another long round
For something so short to push me back down
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle
And I don't wanna be the one showing up for guys that I want
They don't give enough
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle

I've been stepping on my own feet
Wish my skin was tough like the concrete
I can't pour – anything but water from my pores
Dry the crying, slam the doors
Cause I can't do this anymore
Tell my ex I'm done with his bitching
I'm fed-up but I'm self sufficient

I don't wanna wait another long round
For something so short to push me back down
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle
And I don't wanna be the one showing up for guys that I want
They don't give enough
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle

Build me up
My sandcastle
You can't crush
My sandcastle
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle

I don't wanna wait another long round
For something so short to push me back down
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle
And I don't wanna be the one showing up for guys that I want
They don't give enough
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
I'm in search of stopping searching
Cause I've been trying too hard not to try too hard
I'm not quiet
And when I am they say I'm not myself
Always
Giving more than I can give
And my old ways are coming back to haunt me like a cold case
So I'm left with nobody else
But me

I wear my heart on my sleeve
But people here wear tank tops and dreams
Dress opinions on me
And it's hard
It's too hard to see through the crowd

I don't wanna wait another long round
For something so short to push me back down
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle
And I don't wanna be the one showing up for guys that I want
They don't give enough
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle

I've been stepping on my own feet
Wish my skin was tough like the concrete
I can't pour – anything but water from my pores
Dry the crying, slam the doors
Cause I can't do this anymore
Tell my ex I'm done with his bitching
I'm fed-up but I'm self sufficient

I don't wanna wait another long round
For something so short to push me back down
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle
And I don't wanna be the one showing up for guys that I want
They don't give enough
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle

Build me up
My sandcastle
You can't crush
My sandcastle
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle

I don't wanna wait another long round
For something so short to push me back down
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle
And I don't wanna be the one showing up for guys that I want
They don't give enough
Caught in a wave of heartache and hassle
Build me up to crush my sandcastle
