[Verse 1] I used to hide away in my room, Closing off the world to a familiar tune, Tuning out the voices just down the hall, Praying for a life where I had it all. I thought love was simple, thought it should be strong, But now I know that I had it wrong. The cracks in the walls were easy to see, But I never knew how deep they’d be. [Hook] The older I grow, the more I learn, Sometimes the brightest fires still burn. The older I grow, The older I grow ( grow, grow) [Chorus] We’re all just trying, doing what we can, Building up castles out of shifting sand Love’s not perfect, it bends, it breaks, But we carry it all with the risks we take. The more I live, the more I see, We’re all a little lost, just like me. (just like me!) [Drop] [Verse 2] I used to think that love was all black and white, That right was right, and wrong was wrong in the fight. Now I know that hearts don’t fit in lines, And you can love someone and still be blind. I blamed them both for all I couldn’t see, But now I know they were just like me. [Hook] The older I grow, The older I grow ( grow, grow) [Chorus] We’re all just trying, doing what we can, Building up castles out of shifting sand Love’s not perfect, it bends, it breaks, But we carry it all with the risks we take. The more I live, the more I see, We’re all a little lost, just like me. (just like me!) [Drop] [Chorus] We’re all just trying, doing what we can, Building up castles out of shifting sand Love’s not perfect, it bends, it breaks, But we carry it all with the risks we take. The more I live, the more I see, We’re all a little lost, just like me. (just like me!) [Drop] (just like me!) (just like me!) (just like me!) (just like me!) [Fade Outro]
