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
An ego and a broken heart
[Chorus 1]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, she comes around
Said if I don't get lost
I won't get found
Oh-oh-oh, and I turn it 'round
Said if I don't go up
I won't come down
I won't come down
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, and I suppose
If there's no rain clouds
Then nothing grows
Oh-oh-oh, but this I know
If I don't get high
I won't get low
Oh-oh-oh, and I find her strange
She wants to climb up
Where she could fall
Oh-oh-oh, she said if I don't change
Then I'll live and die
Behind these walls
Behind these walls
Behind these walls
[Verse 1] 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 An ego and a broken heart [Chorus 1] Oh-oh-oh-oh, she comes around Said if I don't get lost I won't get found Oh-oh-oh, and I turn it 'round Said if I don't go up I won't come down I won't come down [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] Oh-oh-oh-oh, and I suppose If there's no rain clouds Then nothing grows Oh-oh-oh, but this I know If I don't get high I won't get low Oh-oh-oh, and I find her strange She wants to climb up Where she could fall Oh-oh-oh, she said if I don't change Then I'll live and die Behind these walls Behind these walls Behind these walls Explain Request ×
