We built our dreams out of paper and fire,

We said forever, though we were young and bold.

Expectations heavy like a growing load.

And the cards came down, no turning back.

Were living in a house of cards,
One small wind and it falls apart.

But we rise again from where we start.

Disappointed days, scars we hide,

Lessons written in the tears we cried.

Every sunrise says try once more,

Theres strength in pain we cant ignore.

I take your hand, say stay right here,
Even when the future isnt clear.

Hopes the reason we dont retreat.

Building tomorrow with stronger hands.
