Just not “worth it”.

There’s a girl that lives two houses down
Just across the street
She hears Ana talk to her
And so she won’t eat
A skeleton alive
She looks like the walking dead
And yet she thinks she’s overweight
From the voice in her head

There is a man I work with
Each night I work to cheer him up
His smile looks like it’s broken
Over his half-empty cup

/Chorus/
You’re still breathing
Your heart’s still beating
There’s still time enough (still time)
Time to live, time to heal
There’s still time to love

/instrumental break with fiddle solo/

/bridge/
I felt him reach out this morning
As we parted ways
He touched my heart when he touched my hand
And it amazes me how
I’m still amazed
We’re all learning
No matter our age

/repeat chorus twice/

/tag/
I felt you reach out this morning…

kicking the sand up
this beach is vacant
been out all night
I’ll never be the same again
the waves keep on coming
and I know this is the last time
but the shoreline never sighs

so love your addictions
and leave me abandoned
I can find my way home
when you do, let’s talk

castles in the sand
watching the dawn
and tearing them down
always a new day
always a new way
you find to hurt me
and build castles in the sand

calm water runs deepest
and I always was a wild river
but that changes nothing
this is you, and not me
every night of my life
this moment will haunt me
Et tu* to you

so love your addiction
sand leave me abandoned
I can find my way home
when you do, let’s talk

castles in the sand
watching the dawn
and tearing them down
always a new day
always a new way
you find to hurt me
and build castles in the sand

two sets of footprints
running different ways
I feel you look over your shoulder
and crumble like our castles
I will not look back, though my heart isn’t with me

so love your addictions
and leave me abandoned
I can find my way home
when you do, let’s talk
when you do, we’ll talk

castles in the sand
watching the dawn
and tearing them down
always a new day
always a new way
you find to hurt me
and build castles in the sand

/repeat to fade

*Et tu means “and you” in Latin

I don’t know if anyone is interested, and if not that’s cool… but just in case, I’d like to share my songs with you all.
