Lyrics

Building a Wall

It's funny how you always locked me out I always have remembered you And I should never felt the sting Our eyes are red, your eyes too I'm building a wall as high as I can And everyone I know can come in I'm looking for a hiding place This is my worst I've entered Fall in the sight I'll see The wall that I built forever I don't really have anything left But I don't really have anything left Our bones are left, our bones are left But I don't really have anything left, to say It's nice to know you feel the same This hell fire hill on an island I don't know how many times I keep playing these games with you Our eyes are red, your eyes too I'm building a wall as high as I can And anyone I know can come in I'm looking for a hiding place This is my worst I've entered Fall in the sight I'll see The wall that I built forever I don't really have anything left I don't really have anything left Our bones are left, our bones are left But I don't really have anything left, to say And all the other one was there Call it what you like I will not ask you where the chance you took came from And everyone I know thinks I'm wrong It's greater than the sum of all your parts
