Lyrics Of The Week - One Grain Of Sand

I used to treat you sweetly,
I would pull you to my chest,
As you cried about the ocean,
Slippin’ quickly through your hands.
You were searching for one grain of sand,
Along an endless beach,
As I was building you a castle,
That you just refused to see.

What do I say, what do I do,
To show you all the ways my heart is slowly shattering for you,
What do I say, what do I do…

I don’t wanna hold you if you wanna go,
I’m not gonna make you feel love if you don’t,
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all.

You have faded my reality,
Like leaves that turn to dust,
Fell asleep inside a fantasy,
Then woke up feeling lost.
Now I’m terrified and restless,
But I just cannot escape,
I wish you had words to cool this fever,
That is killing me.

What do I say, what do I do,
To show you all the ways my heart is slowly shattering for you,
What do I say, what do I do…

I don’t wanna hold you if you wanna go,
I’m not gonna make you feel love if you don’t,
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all.
I don’t wanna hold you if you wanna go,
I’m not gonna make you feel love if you don’t,
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn than feel nothing at all.
