all that cant be said

dont hang on to things that will die.

CARDBOARD FORTRESS

you and i together we built it
the monument in my backyard
one we knew only pride of
the only thing in the world we shared
tall and mighty was our stronghold
holding a promise alive and bold
together forever in our cardboard fortress

you left me here all alone
just me and my faded sweater
a heart full of anguish
a soul filled with confused regret
how am i supposed to go on?
how do you expect me to survive?
all the comfort i knew was us
together forever in our cardboard fortress

remember sandpit number 3
the blueprint representing you and me
the plan for out future together
now we are so far off track
drifted apart with stormy weather
wishful thinking on our part
could a cardboard fortress defend our hearts?

why did you leave me on my own
holding on to my old faded sweater
dont you feel any anguish?
is your soul devoid of all regret?
now you expect me to move on
arent you afraid i wont survive?
the comfort you assured was us
together forever in our cardboard fortress

that cold wednesday afternoon
as the wind blew hard against the window
the sun moved to give way to the moon
you grabbed my blue sweater
told me to wait for you there
that day you brought our fortress into the room
told me one day you'll be my groom

yesterday you called me on my phone
told me this has gone on too long
"i need some time to be on my own"
you told me how we were so wrong
i listen and watch my entire world collapse
i fight back the tears, acting strong
praying to god for time to elaspe
with quick speed, please i need

why did you leave me on my own
holding on to my old faded sweater
dont you feel any anguish?
is your soul devoid of all regret?
now you expect me to move on
arent you afraid i wont survive?
the comfort you assured was us
together forever in our cardboard fortress

false hope built on old rotten soil
stronghold made of mouldy cardboard
we thought that was enough
unexpectedly under danger sprawled
my fault, i did it on my own accord
young naive and too eager to believe
love materialised in simple child's play
together forever in our cardboard fortress

lost now
gone somehow
what should i do?
baby i love you
