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 them down no
She ain't gonna break them down
I built these walls with my two hands
I laid every single part
And behind these walls a coward stands
An ego and a broken heart
An ego and a broken heart
Oh, she comes around
Said 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
There was a girl
Who stood there where she stands
And she reached out right in and took my heart
And she broke it in her hands
Oh, she broke it in her hands
Oh, and I suppose
If there's no rain-clouds
Nothing grows
Oh, 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 but she could fall
Oh, she said I don't change
And I'll live and die
Behind these walls
Behind these walls
Behind these walls
