Sandcastles Lyrics

We built sand castles that washed away
I made you cry when I walked away
Oh, and although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
Every promise don't work out that way, oh, babe
Every promise don't work out that way

Dishes smashed on my counter from our last encounter
Pictures snatched out the frame
Bitch, I scratched out your name and your face
What is it about you that I can't erase, baby?
When every promise don't work out that way, no, no, babe
When every promise don't work out that way

And your heart is broken 'cause I walked away
Show me your scars and I won't walk away
Oh, and I know I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
Every promise don't work out that way, no, no, no, no, no
Every promise don't work out that way

This melancholic ballad is a poignant exploration of love and heartbreak. 💔 The sandcastles metaphor suggests the transient nature of relationships, likening them to structures built on unstable foundations that are easily washed away. Beyoncé expresses regret over broken promises and past mistakes, hinting at the pain caused by her departure. However, there's also a plea for understanding and acceptance of flaws, as she asks her partner to show their scars without fear of her leaving again. This track is a raw confession of imperfection in love, acknowledging that not all promises can be kept 🌊, yet it also offers a glimmer of hope for reconciliation and healing.
