You traded all your tears so I could see a happy face

You sat 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

Til 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 metaphric that I'm trying to say

Open up your soap box and just crawl inside



The lights are on but no one's home

Stand there in the dark



(chorus)
