Lyrics

I’ve never been the kind
To wanna step across that line
Into the great unknown
Outside my comfort zone
Always in control
Going with what i know
Makes me feel safe
Keeps me from tempting fate
I had walls and fences so high
There was no way nobody could climb
No chance i’d get hurt

But eventually, the bricks begin to crumble
Stone by stone
Painfully, every wall comes tumblin'
And I’m exposed
My defenses are pointless
Once again, these bricks are in pieces

Seeing what i’ve built
In a pile on this hill
Is making me realize
I’m naked on the inside

No I can’t keep my guard up, i try
To barricade my heart up, but why
This fortress still falls

But eventually, the bricks begin to crumble
Stone by stone
Painfully, every wall comes tumblin'
And I’m exposed
My defenses are pointless
Once again, these bricks are in pieces

I’m letting the bricks lie where they’ve fallen
Putting myself out in the open
Self-protection is just an illusion

Because eventually, the bricks begin to crumble
Stone by stone
Painfully, every wall comes tumbling
And I’m exposed
My defenses are pointless
Once and for all
These bricks are all in pieces
