"Brick By Brick" lyrics

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 trying 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
