Bringing it on yourself
Bringing it on yourself
All the promises you made to me
You know can never be

Shouldn’t have been so nice
Shouldn’t have been so nice
Oh, you should’ve known my love would grow
Now I just can’t let go
Now I just can’t let go

It’s so easy to say too much
Castles in the sand that wash away
It’s so easy to pledge yourself
When you cannot pay
It’s so easy to tell yourself
Things’ll work out fine
It’s so easy to break a heart
Like you’re breaking mine

Nobody else to blame
Nobody else to blame
Did you ever stop to count the cost
Of those who’ve loved and lost?
Living without your love
Living without your love
I’ll just have to learn to face the fact
That I can’t bring you back
That I can’t bring you back

It’s so easy to say too much
Castles in the sand that wash away
It’s so easy to pledge yourself
When you cannot pay
It’s so easy to tell yourself
Things’ll work out fine
It’s so easy to break a heart
Like you’re breaking mine

It’s so easy to break a heart
Like you’re breaking mine
