Line by Line Meaning
You built your kingdom on a sandy beach
You created your life on an unstable foundation
Kept your secrets far and out of reach_
You hid your true self from everyone
I held my hand out
I offered my help
But you turned your blind eye
But you refused to see the truth
We can't go back now_
We can't change the past
So I throw my hands to the sky
So I give up trying
I can't deny it_
I can't ignore the truth
It breaks my helpless heart_
It hurts me to see you suffer
I cannot save you from tearing right apart
I can't prevent your self-destruction
All of this time you were living a lie_
You've been living a false and misleading life
I saw your heart turn black in the blink of an eye
I witnessed your sudden change in character
Like a house of cards in a hurricane_
Like something that's bound to collapse
You come crashing down without a soul to blame
You suffer the consequences of your own actions
It's only a matter of time till you feel the pain
It's inevitable that you'll suffer the consequences
And I see your castle crumble
I see your life fall apart
Hate to say I told you so_
I hate to point out that I was right
But you saw the warning signs
But you were aware of the potential consequences
And now it's too late to play emotional
And now it's too late to show emotion
What's done is done_
The past can't be changed
And now what's coming is coming
The consequences are inevitable
The water's rising
The situation is getting worse
Waves up above your head
You're in over your head
This love can save you
Love can help you overcome your struggles
But you'd rather drown instead
But you're too stubborn to accept help
