brick by brick they build a dream house
cemented with respect, care, harmony, compromise
bit by bit a spectacular dream blossomed & wide it grew
lots of humour lots of mirth, plenty of caring;
too good to be true

up in the air it all was, she knew he knew
crumble it all will, she knew he knew
temptation too strong, uncertainties too great
too good to be true, life is never that straight

let it grow tall? let it grow wide? to see it explode?
the questions she ask, she can’t help ask; they're too loud
crumble now or later, what would hurt more?
she hurts too much as it is, without adding more;

trust, an issue to a large extent; kindness, true it cannot be!
a game of emotions, there is fear this all could be
a game has an end, a winner a loser, no doubt
losing never is fun, enough has been lost and fought

with a sorrowful heart, with a wretched numbness
wanting to say bye, asking for forgiveness
wanting to hang on all the same, no doubt selfishness!
cruel it will be to keep going, she knows! he knows?
