Bitter Sands


Verse 1
The coldest sands swept up ashore
A wind that hit me, but I still can’t be sure
I think the rain, it came and went
On the day I searched for my friend

Verse 2
A trust that left in a year or was it two
I cling on tight to remember the truth
The darkest clouds hung over my head
A promise lost in one moment is dead

(pre chorus)
It never helps to replay the truth
It only gives you more pain to go through

Chorus
I lived a lie because it made me feel good
You and I were once where we should
The sacrifice that I made to hang on
All but lost for some foolish fun

(Bridge)


Verse 3
If the time could be played back for one day
I’d turn around and never look back again
I’d take you in my arms and carry you too
I swear I’m sorry for the pain we went through

Chorus
I lived a lie because it made me feel good
You and I were once where we should
The sacrifice that I made to hang on
All but lost in a moment of fun
