I built a castle in the sky so high
It fell apart with just one sigh
A paper crown,
a hollow throne
Dreams I borrow, dreams I don't own
Shattered illusions cutting through
What's left of me, what's left of you
A mirror cracked, a broken view
Shattered illusions, nothing now
I chase the shadow down the street A ghost of hope with tired feet
The stars don't care,
they never do They watch the mess I'm walking through
Every promise feels like smoke Every smile a cruel joke
Shattered illusions cutting through What's left of me,
what's left of you
A mirror cracked,
a broken view Shattered illusions,
nothing now
Every promise feels like smoke
Every smile a cruel joke
Shattered illusions cutting through What's left of me,
what's left of you
A mirror cracked,
a broken view Shattered illusions,
nothing now
A laugh, a tear, a fleeting flame
The rules are raked, it's all a game
I fold my cards,
I leave the fight But still I'm dreaming every night
A laugh,
a tear,
a fleeting flame The rules are raked,
it's all a game
I fold my cards,
I leave the fight But still I'm dreaming every night
