Castles

Lyrics

This world keeps turning And these walls keep burning down I've seen too much to smile Building castles around my heart This world keeps turning And these walls keep burning down I've seen too much to smile Building castles around my heart Nice guys finish last, what they all say Learned my lesson, why it had to be the hard way? Why the love gotta always end in heartbreak? All these hard nights, all these long days All praise to the most high, no lie Everybody think it's cooler if you don't try Everybody sell their souls for a gold mine But nobody tell the truth when it's showtime All I wanted was fur coats and slow songs Name popping up I been burnt toast for so long Why you think I just stayed quiet and wrote songs? Where I'm from they just move home and mow lawns A lot of people die when they seem brave Cold world even in this heat wave A lot of you won't make it if you mean well Lord knows that the devil's in the details This world keeps turning And these walls keep burning down I've seen too much to smile Building castles around my heart This world keeps turning And these walls keep burning down I've seen too much to smile Building castles around my heart I don't think I'll ever change my mind I don't think I'll ever take my time Got adopted, mom n pop really saved my life Why you think I'm working everyday to make things right? I'll be damned if I don't, I'll be damned if I do Got a fear of regret and abandonment too They don't wanna put my face on the shirt They don't wanna read my name in the news
