Built On Sand

I use to love to be alone Now I can't stand the sound of the silence I use to think I had a home But the change has made that thought grow quiet So I'm holding on to you For fear that I might fall But holding on to you Is like holding to nothing at all I'm sick in the head To think that I might drown It is not your job to be my solid ground He said Take what you want But you know I'm not what you need I could never be your shade from the burning sun 'Cause you know eventually everyone moves on I'll let you sit here next to me till the break of dawn But no matter how tight you hold One day I'll be gone Take what you want But I'm not what you need If solid ground is what you want You need to understand A castle never lasts if it's built on sand What do you hear when you're alone Am I in your head or am I silence Was I ever on your throne You say I think too much 'Cause my mind is violence So I'm holding on to you For fear that I might fall But holding on to you Is like holding to nothing at all I'm sick in the head To think that I might drown It is not your job to be my solid ground Take what you want But you know I'm not what you need I could never be your shade from the burning sun 'Cause you know eventually everyone moves on I'll let you sit here next to me till the break of dawn But no matter how tight you hold One day I'll be gone Take what you want But I'm not what you need If solid ground is what you want You need to understand A castle never lasts if it's built on sand
