Brick by Brick

What if I believed it when you said you want to be around me? What if I could see that you have been here all along? And suddenly the story that I told myself is unraveling The more I'm in your company, the less I am alone Brick by brick, you're taking this wall apart It took me years to build that fortress around my broken heart But your patient hand goes stone by stone Pain can build a prison but your love's making me a home It's funny how your eye adjust to living in the basement You said that it might take some time to get used to the light All those years of bracing for a bitter storm that came and went Now I've been ever since to shake off the night Brick by brick, you're taking this wall apart It took me years to build that fortress around my broken heart But your patient hand goes stone by stone Pain can build a prison, but your love's making me a home Every word out of your mouth is a truth I've never heard Everything is different now we've rearranged the furniture And I would rather be with you than hang around with anyone else The more I'm spending time with you, the more I am myself Brick by brick, you're taking this wall apart It took me years to build that fortress around my broken heart But your patient hand goes stone by stone Pain can build a prison, but your love's making me a home Yeah, your love's making me a home Your love's making me a home Pain can build a prison but your love's making me a home
