We built our castle on a sand foundation
Thinking a beach would make a fine location
We watch the high tide wearing down our walls
Our medication became alcohol
Screaming slurred sentences to pass the blame
Screaming slurred insults to replace our old names
The words cut deep like well kept cutlery
Searing the pain into my brain the words you said to me
We both knew that we jumped into this too soon
The packed up suitcase hides inside the guest room
Our love was never enough
Our castle crashes down
10 years of work collapsed on conchs makes an empty sound
A roaring sea pulls in debris
Just like the love you gave to me
