Walls

Well I built these walls with brick and stone
I built them all around
I built these walls a long time ago
She ain't gonna take 'em down no
She ain't gonna break 'em down
I built these walls with my two hands
I laid every single part
And behind these walls a coward stands
With an ego and a broken heart oh
An ego and a broken heart
Oh she comes around
Says if I don't get lost I won't get found
Oh and I turn it round
Said if I don't go up
I won't come down
I won't come down
Well I built these walls around my chest
I built them thick and strong
Oh and she can try her very best
But they've been here for too long
For long ago there was a girl
That stood there where she stands
And she reached right in and took my heart
And broke it in her hands oh
She broke it in her hands
Oh and I suppose if there's no rain clouds then nothing grows
Oh but this I know if I don't get high I won't get low
Oh and I find her strange she wants to climb up though she could fall
Oh she said if I don't change then I'll live and die behind these walls
Behind these walls
Behind these walls
