Lyrics:

I built myself a wall, I built it stout, I built it tall
I stacked it strong and wide, 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 till I was all alone
In this space inside my wall
Believe me when I say you can make it go away
I know you can make it fall
Chorus
I built it stone by stone, stone by stone
I built it stone by stone, stone by stone
From inside I see the sky, 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 grey and hard as bone
I've 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
Chorus
You've got to push, you got to shove, got to break it with your love
If you try you will discover, that one stone, then another
Will tumble, fall apart, crumble round 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
Chorus
