Castle


I was walking towards the castle, the castle of my dreams

Then I learnt that everything is not always what it seems

For the water turned murky

The moats turned to dust

I saw a creature lurking

And the knight’s armor showed rust

 

And I ain’t lying when I say

Girl, your world will come crashing down

You’ll see cinders all around

Your world will turn to dust and ashes

But you’ll escape with several wounds and gashes

You may feel like you’ll fall apart

But you’ll emerge victorious with a stronger heart

 

You’ve got nerves of steel

Scars that heal

You’ll be okay

So just hold on and stay

In battle for one more day

Cause I ain’t lying when I say

 

Girl, your world will come crashing down

You’ll see cinders all around

Your world will turn to dust and ashes

But you’ll escape with several wounds and gashes

You may feel like you’ll fall apart

But you’ll emerge victorious with a stronger heart
