SAND IN MY HAND [Verse 1] Who ever thought we’d end up here? Who ever thought we’d feel this way? A heart shattered into pieces, So many nights, so many tears. But where are all those tears now, When we’re standing at our hardest hour? Am I too angry, am I too lost, To understand what happened to us? [Pre-Chorus] Now we’re over, there’s no turning back, We tried so hard, but we lost our track. We have to face what we don’t wanna see, There ain’t no way to save you and me. [Chorus] I once saw us as a happy family, Now we’re fading from each other’s reach. Like sand in my hand, The harder I hold, the more it slips away. Soon you’ll go your way, I’ll go mine, Nothing turned out the way we dreamed. We tried to bring back what we had, But sometimes love has to set you free. [Verse 2] I wish we’d never ended up this far, But how long can you fight when nothing changes? We tried to find our way back home, But somehow we got lost along the road. We’re falling apart, we can’t stay, Even though my heart still wants you to remain. It’s gonna hurt to say goodbye, But staying hurts more when your heart wants to fly. [Pre-Chorus] Every day feels like another fight, I’m searching for a little peace tonight. Maybe it’s time to let you go, Even if my heart still screams, “Don’t.” [Chorus] I once saw us as a happy family, Now we’re fading from each other’s reach. Like sand in my hand, The harder I hold, the more it slips away. Soon you’ll go your way, I’ll go mine, Nothing turned out the way we dreamed. We tried to bring back what we had, But sometimes love has to set you free. [Bridge – emotional] Maybe we were never meant forever, But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t beautiful. We had a love I’ll always remember, And a pain that cut right through my soul. So even when we say goodbye, A piece of us will never disappear. We were a family, we were a “we”, Now we have to find our own way from here. [Final Chorus – bigger] I once saw us as a happy family, Now we’re fading from each other’s reach. Like sand in my hand, The harder I hold, the more it slips away. You go your way, and I’ll go mine, Maybe this is where our story ends. We couldn’t find our way back home, But I’ll always remember where we’ve been. [Outro] Who ever thought we’d end up here? Who ever thought we’d feel this way? We were once everything… Now we have to learn to live apart.
