Sandcastle Lyrics

I walk to the beach
My mind is fatigued
Your voice still fills
the void you left in me

I stand at the spot
where we had fought
The last words you said
made our love seem odd

Do you only care
when I am golden and fair?

Cause when I’m whole
I’m a sandcastle
You mould and sculpt with your hands
But when I’m broken I am just sand
that you casually feel with your hands
I feel wasted, undecorated
and washed away

I picked up the phone
to call you back home
All I hear are beeps
I guess you’re free to roam

Do you let me go
when I no longer glow?

Cause when I’m whole
I’m a sandcastle
You mould and sculpt with your hands
But when I’m broken I am just sand
That you casually feel with your hands
I feel wasted, undecorated
And washed away

Into the sea
Pieces of me used to stand
Like a sandcastle
Was I such a hassle?

Cause when I’m whole
I’m a sandcastle
You mould and sculpt with your hands
But when I’m broken I am just sand
That you casually feel with your hands
I feel wasted, maybe I’m fated,
To be washed away

I walk to the beach
My mind is fatigued
Your voice still fills
the void you left in me
 
I stand at the spot
where we had fought
The last words you said
made our love seem odd
 
Do you only care
when I am golden and fair?
 
Cause when I’m whole
I’m a sandcastle
You mould and sculpt with your hands
But when I’m broken I am just sand
that you casually feel with your hands
I feel wasted, undecorated
and washed away 
 
I picked up the phone
to call you back home
All I hear are beeps
I guess you’re free to roam
 
Do you let me go
when I no longer glow?
 
Cause when I’m whole
I’m a sandcastle
You mould and sculpt with your hands
But when I’m broken I am just sand
That you casually feel with your hands
I feel wasted, undecorated
And washed away
 
Into the sea
Pieces of me used to stand
Like a sandcastle
Was I such a hassle?
 
Cause when I’m whole
I’m a sandcastle
You mould and sculpt with your hands
But when I’m broken I am just sand
That you casually feel with your hands
I feel wasted, maybe I’m fated,
To be washed away

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.
