Chelsea Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wonder why I wasted all of my time
I could've been
I could've been there with you
I wonder why I even try, girl
Cause there's just nothin'
Nothin' I can do
Nowhere that I can go, no
Nothin' that I can say girl
That's gonna take the pain away

[Pre-Chorus]
This time I feel like dyin'
Feels like I'm dead within
Sometimes I wish I was, girl
So I could hold you, again

[Chorus]
Build your castle in the sky
Now no one can tell you lies
Heaven's not so far if I can see you in my dreams
When I feel my time is near
I won't be sad, cause you'll be there
I know you're right there waiting for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
It's hard to make it on my own
I need your love girl
So much more than I'd ever known
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Sometimes it hurts so bad, girl
That I just fall to my knees

[Pre-Chorus]
This time I feel like dyin'
Feels like I'm dead within
Sometimes I wish I was, girl
So I could hold you, again

[Chorus]
Build your castle in the sky
Now no one can tell you lies
Heaven's not so far if I can see you in my dreams
When I feel my time is near
I won't be sad, cause you'll be there
I know you're right there waiting for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Yeah, waiting for me
I never thought that you would wait for me
No, waiting for you
I didn't think that we could never be
Yeah, waiting for me
I never thought that you would
Yeah waiting for me
[Chorus]
Build your castle in the sky
Now no one can tell you lies
Heaven's not so far if I can see you in my dreams
When I feel my time is near
I won't be sad, cause you'll be there
I know you're right there waiting for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know you're out there

Build your castle in the sky
Now no one can tell you lies
Heaven's not so far if I can see you in my dreams
When I feel my time is near
I won't be sad, cause you'll be there
I know you're right there waiting for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
