She built a wall around her heart cos she’s afraid of loving
The wall is big and it’s beautiful but it will give her nothing
The pain inside has turned to stone and now the bricks are leaking
She doesn’t know if it will hold so she’s not much for speaking
She built a wall around her soul cos she wants to be stronger
It steals the light as shadows rise, it can’t go on much longer
She wonders why she feels so sad and if it lasts forever
She doesn’t know the wall is there but it is going to break her
She built a wall
She built a wall around her skin to keep you at a distance
It doesn’t let your feelings in, she’ll feed on your resistance
Before it all comes crashing down she survives on indifference
But soon it falls into the ground so she can make a difference
She built a wall around her life, you can’t see what she’s hiding
And if her time is meaningless her faith is not residing
She doesn’t want, she doesn’t mind, your words are ineffective
I’ll tear it down to let her shine inside of the collective
She built a wall, she built a wall, she built a wall
