Stone By Stone Lyrics

I built myself a wall
I built it stout, I built it tall
I stacked it strong and wide
And I lived there deep inside
One heartbreak at a time
Around this heart of mine
It’s not a wall that you can see
It lives inside of me
Every hurt became a stone
Til I was all alone
In this space inside my wall
Believe me when I say
You can make it go away
I know that you can make it fall

I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone
I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone

From inside, I see the sky
It makes me wish that I could fly
Like a bird or airplane
But I can't, I must remain
Between these walls of stone
Cold and gray and hard as bone
I got to break free
I got a world to see
Then you could be my girl
We could fly around the world
There’s so much that I want to do
It’s time, you must begin
You’ve got to try to make it in
You’ve got to try to break through

I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone
I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone

I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone
I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone

You got to push, you got to shove
You got to break it with your love
If you try, you will discover
That one stone, then another
Will tumble, fall apart
Crumble around my lonely heart
You’re the only one
That can get this done
I know, I built it strong
But it won't take long
You can knock it all to the ground
If you chip a bit away
Work it every single day
We can tear this whole thing down

I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone
I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone
I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone
I built it stone by stone
Stone by stone
