Castles on Quicksand

Well, I could love you, baby, but it's a fact When I get too close, you pull right back Your hands get cold and your eyes get sad I guess somebody must've hurt you real bad With a nervous laugh, I can see you try To cover the hurt and try to justify You'd better let go real soon, baby You can't build castles on quicksand You can't build bridges on thin air You can't paper over the cracks of a broken heart And pretend it's not there You gotta let the storm break, baby You gotta let the rain fall all around And when your tears run dry, maybe then you can try To start all over again Well, I could try to push, I could try to shove But there's a great big wall in the way of love It's time to face facts and purge your pain Get those tracks back under your train I see you run and I see you hide Try to cover what you're feeling inside But I know you like me, baby You can't build castles on quicksand You can't build bridges on thin air You can't paper over the cracks of a broken heart And pretend it's not there You gotta let the storm break, baby You gotta let the rain fall all around And when your tears run dry, maybe then you can try To start all over again Castles on quicksand Castles on quicksand Bridges on thin air You're standing on shaky ground You're building on thin air You gotta let the storm break, baby You gotta let the rain fall all around And when your tears run dry, maybe then you can try To start all over again (start all over again) Castles on quicksand (yeah-eh) Bridges on thin air (stop building on quicksand) You can't paper over the cracks of a broken heart And pretend it's not there You gotta let the storm break baby You gotta let the rain fall all around And when your tears run dry, maybe then you can try To start all over again
