I walk the streets uncertain
of what I was searching for
She stands alone in silence I see that
And I every step a chance
but we pretend we're soldiers
Heaven knows I lied to myself
saying I'm better off alone
It's the only way that I'm known
to get along for this long
Weak heart keeps my head strong
So the man that I pretend to be
Has interfered with destiny
And all the makeup she can buy
Can't seem to find a way to hide
the days she cried inside
I'll tell myself just one
She'll share her feelings
with her pillow each night
'Til the sand castles crumble
And the toys all just die
Eh, lay in my bed just staring
at the pictures on the wall
Oh, I tell my self don't care
but I can hardly sleep at all
Cause every song that plays on the radio
Reminds me that you're gone
My bridge burned and my heart's on,
Heaven knows I lied to myself
saying I'm better off alone
It's the only way that I'm known
to get along for this long
Weak heart keeps my head strong
So the man that I pretend to be
Has interfered with destiny
And kept me from what's best for me
And left me alone (left me alone)
And all the makeup she can buy
Can't seem to find a way to hide
the days she cried inside
I'll tell myself just one
She'll share her feelings
with her pillow each night
We'll pretend that everything is alright
'Til the sand castles crumble
And the toys all just die
We'll carry on (carry on)
You'll never know if you hurt me
Or know that I'm lonely, oh no
A thousand miles beneath is the
strength that I need to carry on
I'll tell myself just one
I'll tell myself just one
She'll share her feelings
with her pillow each night
We'll pretend that everything is alright
'Til the sand castles crumble
And the toys all just die
