We built this city brick by brick
It's kinda funny, isn't it?
How we almost had it all
We worked our fingers to the bone
We made a castle of our own
And thenΒ we watched this kingdom fall
It's the crying that reminds us we're alive
It's the cracks that let the light in sometimes
But I can't see the diamonds in the dust
There's beauty in the ruins of us
And darlin that's just how it goes
It's one door open, one door closed
It's nothing tragic in the end
So go ahead and say goodbye
Cause there's an empire in my mind
And I can build it all again
It's the crying that reminds us we're alive
It's the cracks that let the light in sometimes
I can see the diamonds in the dust
There's beauty in the ruins of us
And maybe life is what you make it
You know this heart can take the flames
But just remember once you break it
It won't ever be the same
It's the crying that reminds us we're alive
It's the cracks that let the light in sometimes
I can see the diamonds in the dust
There's beauty in the ruins of us
