Sandcastles Lyrics

Cover art for Sandcastles lyrics by Beyoncé

This song kind of reminds me of Beyonce's Sister (Solange)'s own stunning and poignant "Cranes in the sky" and Jill Scott's "Can't Explain 42nd Street Happenstance" and "back to you" by Selena..... It is about people who leave people for some reasons but it turns out their herats are still in love with those ppl they left....

"Oh, and although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby Every promise don't work out that way, oh, babe" ... shows what regret feels like, sometimes u leave someone cuz relatives or friends encourage you to but then a heart will always want what it wants... it can never unknow a lover and what he/she was like... the mind is an inference engine and always compares current lovers to any past lovers, unwittingly

"Pictures snatched out the frame Bitch, I scratched out your name and your face What is it about you that I can't erase, baby?"

this track also explains why ppl suddenly get back together even while having split for years.... Love is not what you think it is
