We carved our names under the Sun You said: Forever, and I believed it was the one But now the waves come crashing in And I can't find where we've been We danced in tides, kissed in storms You held me close, your hands were warm But promises made with trembling hands Don't stand a chance against the sand You said we'd last, you said we'd stay But like the shoreline, you washed away It was written in the sand Fading with each grain that slipped through your hand A fragile love, built on dreams Gone with the tide and the morning breeze We were fire and flame, now just ash and land 'Cause it was written Written in the sand I still hear echoes of your laugh In every wave that's crashing past But memories drown in time's command No trace remains in this broken strand You said we'd shine, you said we'd fight But shadows fall when there's no light It was written in the sand Fading with each grain that slipped through your hand A fragile love, built on dreams Gone with the tide and the morning breeze We were fire and flame, now just ash and land 'Cause it was written Written in the sand The sea took all we used to be Now only silence lies with me No footprints, no goodbye Just the whisper of a lie It was written in the sand And now it's gone, like a wave from your hand A love so deep, but couldn't withstand The truth of hearts not made to land We were never stone, we were never planned It was written Written in the sand (Oh-oh, written in the sand) (Fading like a dream we never had) And when the morning comes It'll wash away like the sands You say you love me till the end of the world (you say you love me till the end of the world) But we're just written in the sand I fell for your way (in your way, baby) Should've known you'd go over the edge You say you love me till the end of the world world (you say you love me) But we're just written in the sand that's been washed away And I knew you'd never stay here with me
