Houses Made of Sticks

We’re all going to live happily ever after in our house made of sticks
But when the house comes crashing down at the first sign of a storm
What are we going to do?

I can’t hide and you can try to run but the end isn’t in view
Houses of sticks aren’t meant to hold through
The view’s great and the feeling can’t be better

We aren’t going to live to see the day
Neither of us is strong enough to believe

I would say I’m an optimist but the worlds not perfect
The way I see it I was just another defect
So let the walls cave it, baby just leave it

Our house was made of sticks, and baby we knew it
But we just couldn’t beat each other to it
The feelings were grand but can they last forever?
I truly though maybe the house of stick,
Would turn into brick

But it that was the optimism giving me false hope
Let’s just hope we can stay afloat
For a while longer

I would say I’m an optimist but the worlds not perfect
The way I see it, we were just another defect
Let the walls cave it, baby we can’t save it

The house is gone, now we’re left with a cracked foundation
Letting the walls fall, packing up and getting gone
Was the only option

I hope you understand, because this is all done
The life we had was just fiction
Let’s hope I’m saying this with well diction

Houses made of sticks are just fine,
But the weather can change on a dime
When the walls blow away don’t chase them
Just be happy they lasted this long
Trying to keep them would be plain wrong

I could say I was an optimist but this world was never perfect
So what’s the point of saying I wasn’t an addict?
I loved the way you hugged me

But this can’t be
The walls are gone; we’re standing in the rain
Saying goodbyes are so hard to explain
But please baby you’re not to blame
