Sand Castle

(Ooh) hm
I've been figurin' me out (ooh)
But I don't know what it is

Time's are changin', but the same old me still gotta learn (gotta learn)
Waitin' and wishin' doesn't always guarantee a turn (no, it doesn't)
Who's that lookin' in the mirror?
It's just someone he should become

Told me I couldn't love you, oh
Maybe it's time that I try to

I'm talkin' to myself for hours, hours
Love myself reiteratin' louder and louder
Bein' myself, no imitatin'
Found who I am from a was serendipitous
No one else is under my skin

I'm the one that built the wall (built the wall)
And the one to break it down (down)
Me, myself, and that's a lot
Maybe I'll grow up and remember
All the pages of me

Callin' out SOS
Thinkin' there's no one else
That's when I save myself
Tearin' down my sand castle
Sand castle

The way I had to build me up and break me down
While the waves are crashin' in, but I don't ever drown
And now I'm the only one
Tearin' down my sand castle
Sand castle, yeah

I know I can miss the me that had to make way (way)
Lookin' at a future that I know I'm gon' change (change)
More that time goes on, I'm learnin' how to like me (ay)
And when I'm talkin' to the mirror do it kindly (kindly)

Time can heal all of your wounds, but it don't mean that
It ain't gon leave you a scar (a scar)
Carry that shit, take it with you, and let it show you who you are
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But remember who would wonder (wonder, what)
If you'd make it out at all

Callin' out SOS
Thinkin' there's no one else
That's when I save myself
Tearin' down my sand castle
Sand castle

The way I had to build me up and break me down
While the waves are crashin' in, but I don't ever drown
And now I'm the only one
Tearin' down my sand castle
Sand castle, yeah

I'll shine a light on who I tried to hide
Give him the answers that I couldn't find (couldn't find)
Now you're mine to rediscover
Let you stand a little taller
(With me)
Feel like I'm winnin' when I'm lookin' behind (behind)
And I see who I was before, and
All those times that I tried

Callin' out SOS (anybody out there?)
Thinkin' there's no one else (oh, I keep on gettin' stronger)
That's when I save myself (ain't the one that's goin' under)
Tearin' down my sand castle
Sand castle

The way I had to build me up and break me down (oh)
While the waves are crashin' in, but I don't ever drown
And now I'm the only one
Tearin' down my sand castle
Sand castle, yeah

(Sand, sand castle) yeah, through your fingers like the sand
(Sand, sand, sand castle) when you got too much on your hands
(Sand, sand castle)
(Sand, sand, sand castle) and sometimes, you let it wash away
