You traded all your tears

so I could see a happy face

You sat all alone and read

the writing on the wall

You broke your heart

and banged your cool up

as you fell from grace

You should've hung the net

before you took the fall



The lines are pretty long here,

but you'll stand here anyway



Chorus:

Until you see this ain't going over

There's nothing left to show for

Till you see

Time ain't gonna make up

for the times you'd never wake up for me



I watched you build a castle

on the beach one rainy day

I saw it fall apart and roll out with the tide

I think there's something metaphoric

that I'm trying to say

Open up your soap box

and just crawl inside

The lights are on but no ones home

Stand there in the dark



Chorus
