I`m a castle made of glass
I can`t lie to them
There`s no guard, everyone is welcome
So it goes
I have to build myself over again
No, they don`t lie
What doesn`t kill you makes you stronger
But they forgot how the daggers in the back make you hurt
And how the regret and the promise to never trust anyone again poison your blood
I`m a castle made of sand
But everyone keeps knocking on my doors
Like I`m the one on the throne
So it goes
I have to build myself over and over again
No, they don`t lie
What doesn`t kill you makes you stronger
But they forgot some of us can`t stand the pressure
Of breaking down and building ourselves up every night
I`m a castle made of ice
Keeping candlelight inside
For everyone to find their way home
So it goes
I have to build myself over and over, again and again
No, they don`t lie
What doesn`t kill you makes you stronger
But they forgot about how tired you get each time
And is there any hope left inside of you
But maybe someday…
I`ll be a castle made of stone
But will someone want to go through all the guard
To find there`s only mine exhausted of the beating heart?

My dear friend this is just priceless. I love the metaphors of glass, sand, ice and stone that you have used to express such deep feeling and reflection. Building yourself over and over again swells to a great climax in that final verse. It's a little late, but this is a fav.
