Castles in the Air
Love's Fragile Echoes: Promises Unraveled in 'Castles in the Air'
Lyrics
I try to make you happy
I make efforts to bring happiness to you
And hope you'll never stray
I hope you remain faithful and don't wander away
I try and every time it's all in vain
Despite my attempts, it seems futile every time
And when you say you love me
When you express love, it appears temporary
It's only for today
Your love declaration is only for the present moment
And as the glow of new love fades
As the initial excitement of love diminishes
This simple spell is bound to break
The enchantment of love is likely to fade away
Love's not always here to stay
Love is not permanent
Fickle as the wind that changes daily
Love is unpredictable, changing like the wind
The world keeps breaking its promises
The world consistently fails to keep its promises
All the foolish games we play
We engage in foolish games with broken promises
Castles in the air and paper daydreams
We build imaginary castles and daydream on paper
But you keep breaking your promises
Despite efforts, promises continue to be broken
And when the day is over
As the day concludes
I'll know the end is near
The realization of the end being near sets in
When every star above has disappeared
All the stars above disappear
I will remember clearly
I will vividly recall being in your arms
How I was once in your embrace
As moonlight fades, the absence becomes apparent
And as the moonlight fades away
I'll find you weren't here to stay
I discover that your presence was not enduring
Love's not alway here to stay
Love is not always lasting
Fickle as the wind that changes daily
Love is as unpredictable as the changing wind
The world keeps breaking its promises
The world consistently fails to fulfill promises
All the foolish games we play
We engage in foolish games with guaranteed disappointment
Guaranteed to leave me lost and crazy
These games lead to confusion and insanity for me
But you keep breaking your promises
Despite efforts, promises continue to be broken
All the foolish games we play
We persist in senseless games with broken promises
Castles in the air and paper daydreams
We build castles in the air and indulge in paper daydreams
But you keep breaking your promises
Despite efforts, promises continue to be broken
Your promises to me
Reiteration of promises made to the speaker
Your promises to me
Your promises to me
-Your promises to me
