hold me close until the tremors of my soul subside
until the pain that's been keeping me awake washes away like our footprints in the sand
because maybe this shaking body will be cured by the touch of your hand on my chest.

build me a castle with four tall fortress walls and wait with me while sadness comes knocking
as if you're the only one that's been keeping me sane in this solitude
because love is nothing more than a little company amid the pain of this broken life.

save me from the depths of this aching loneliness that i've been  drowning in
like the demons that live in my head can swim but i am sinking under the weight
because this heart needs a hand to hold when the water rises and the ground sinks lower.

write me a letter in the blue and red veins of your heart
letting me believe that what we had was real but what we have is no longer
because maybe you were just broken boy and a broken promise that meant the world to me.
