Grains of Sand

There were grains of truth in the lies
There were promises in your eyes
There were things you showed me we couldn't quite be
Illusion future unfound

There were grains of sand in the tears
There were words unspoken for years
There were pictures drawn within the things you said
Disappeared without a sound

There were grains of sand on the beach
There were lost worlds unreached
There were sands of time that flowed quickly
Quicksand, everything's gone

   There were grains of truth
   There was promise of youth
   There was time before it was dead
   But everything's gone

There were grains of salt take or leave
There were reasons not to believe
There were warning signs everywhere I turned
But I chose to be blind

There were grains of truth in the lies
There were promises no surprise
There were things you dreamed of but never quite learned
Still stuck there in your mind

   There were grains of truth
   There was promise of youth
   There was time before it was dead
   But everything's gone
