How To Build A Sandcastle Lyrics

You mean the world to me
But you'll never know it.
Like my mouth,
I'll shut my eyes
And watch this die.

I'm your waiter.

A cold wind blew through me
From the door you left open.
I've yet to clean the glass from underneath the table
You waste your breath on me
Spitting out obscenities.
I'm not phased,
My heart's turned to stone.
Playing pretend left me bruised and fatigued.
I wish I was, but I'm not sorry for this
So I must say, "Farewell! I'm not sad to see you go..."
This room is suddenly empty,
But I'm not alone...

I've heard a thousand lies...
I've heard a thousand lies (all mine)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
