My dear, what we built, you know we built it around you
But this castle of cards will just come crumbling down
A house by the sea
And still everything is the same as before
I won't turn my back but I need to show
That I might not be here tomorrow
I'm looking back now to when you said
You would be leaving this town
To start something better away from it all
Where there was no point in hiding
'Cause the curtain is starting to fall
And the audience have seen it all
In the end we're just drifting away
From the loneliest of wars
Oh dear, I know, nothing of this seems real
Although what we told ourselves is that there was nothing to fear
A house by the sea
Is still everything that we've always dreamed of
And this hurts like hell but I need you to know
That we might not be here tomorrow
You're looking back now
To when I said I would be leaving this town
To find something else that's away from it all
But what was the point in trying?
'Cause the curtain is starting to fall
And the audience will see it all
In the end we're just drifting away
From the loneliest of wars
Yeah the curtain, it finally falls
And my dear now we can see it all
In the end we're two fools
Trying to make it up for all their wrongs
