waketheday - Building Up Walls lyrics

rate me

(Lyrics by: Chris Jackson, Tyler Anderson and Andy Meyers) (Music by: waketheday) So many ways to shame and I've learned them all A different face for every vice I live So many pieces and I've played them all Another move for checkmate in my soul The simple struggle is burned in my mind And it sinks far beyond where reason lives The perfect puzzle all pieces in line But I can't seem to find the fit thats right We say these things are all true - but what has happened to love? I'm so devouted to you - why do you say I don't show? I'm lost for you I'd thought I'd won I've come undone I've played the fool for far too long and I see This failing heart is breaking all too fast We've spent so many days that I can't recall I want you mine - I hope this pain won't last We say these things are all true - but what has happened to love? I'm just reminded of you - why do you say it's not so? I'm lost for you I'd thought I'd won What have we become? We are broken yet ready to fight We've been given the chance to make our wrongs right But why don't we, why don't we see it through? Held captive by language the world do we blame And given the chance that it all turns to rain Would we drown, or could we wade it out? We're skeptics gone critics, all falling down And a house of cards holds a better chance to stand proud And I'm not through, no I'm not through right now And amidst of the pain well we all run and hide Turn our backs on love and hope we go blind Well why can't we see that love is the answer to it all? So just take the chance maybe risk, maybe fall We'll find there's more to life than building up walls But we must take the chance before we will know Before we will know (Thanks to ktanders for these lyrics)
