Castle Cards

We built this castle up only for it to fall apart
I watched it tumble down so much, reminds me of my heart
Emotions flooding in, but silence left it in the dark
You always shut me down and out, that tends to leave a scar
I know deep down you love me, but I always feel dismayed
I get that you would like more from me, I too, feel the same
I want to be a better person, but we need a change
We can't keep social-distancing, and act like it's okay
I've stayed so silent
Within these walls
With only one push
It falls

I've tried so hard
But this castle's made of cards
And honestly we can't hold out
It left us all scars
That eventually caused harm
I'm tired of it fallin' down
No, I don't wanna be the reason that you leave me
No, I don't wanna be the cause
So many hearts, in this castle made of cards
I'm tired of it fallin' down
It all falls down

We laughed, we loved, we hugged, we gushed, it'll never be the same
Some things just fall apart, although we never meant for change
I think that in this point in time, we've done all that remains
Some things in life are meant to break, although we want it saved
It wasn't yours, it wasn't my fault
Hardships are endless cycles
This family is on a tightrope
Dangling on the edges of love, hurt, and prosperity
Everyday is a chance to see, everything that I ever loved, fall into the ground, and into pieces
Now every time we talk is a battle that never reaches
So I would sit alone in my room hidin' my feelin's
Never showin' how I felt
Or ever give you more reasons
I'd stay silent
Within these walls
With only one push
It falls

I've tried so hard
But this castle's made of cards
And honestly we can't hold out
It left us all scars
That eventually caused harm
I'm tired of it fallin' down
No, I don't wanna be the reason that you leave me
No, I don't wanna be the cause
So many hearts, in this castle made of cards
I'm tired of it fallin' down
It all falls down

Down
Down
Down, down, down
Everything we touch, it just seems to fall to the ground
Down
Down
Down, down, down
Everything we touch, it just seems to fall to the ground

I've tried so hard
But this castle's made of cards
And honestly we can't hold out
It left us all scars
That eventually caused harm
I'm tired of it fallin' down
No, I don't wanna be the reason that you leave me
No, I don't wanna be the cause
So many hearts, in this castle made of cards
I'm tired of it fallin' down
It all falls down

Down
Down
Down, down, down
Down
Down
Down, down, down
All falls down
