You traded all your tears so I could see a happy face   You sat alone and read the writing on the wall   You broke your heart and banged your cool up as you fell from grace   You should've hung the net before you took the fall      The lines are pretty long here, but you'll stand here anyway      (chorus)   Until you see this ain't going over   There's nothing left to show for   Til you see   Time ain't gonna make up for the times you'd never wake up for me      I watched you build a castle on the beach one rainy day   I saw it fall apart and roll out with the tide   I think there's something metaphric that I'm trying to say   Open up your soap box and just crawl inside      The lights are on but no one's home   Stand there in the dark      (chorus)
