[Verse 1]
You smiled with a hidden knife
I learned your kiss could split my life
Took my trust and took my name
Left me standing in the rain
Words like stones in a closed fist
Bruises bloom where your hands hit
I kept quiet, I kept still
Now I know you never will
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, I was burned
Every lie that I heard
Made a crack in the wall
Till I couldn't feel at all
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, I built this wall
Brick by brick, I took the fall
You don't get in, you don't get through
I am my home now, not your bruise
Brick by brick, I rise again
Brick by brick, I break the chain
If it's me against the world
I still stand
[Verse 2]
Toxic love in a pretty frame
Same old game with a new fake name
You kept score in my open wounds
Made a prison out of rooms
I was alone but I was awake
Seen enough of what you take
Now your shadow can't outrun
What I made me become
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, I was burned
Every lie that I heard
Made a crack in the wall
Till I couldn't feel at all
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, I built this wall
Brick by brick, I took the fall
You don't get in, you don't get through
I am my home now, not your bruise
Brick by brick, I rise again
Brick by brick, I break the chain
If it's me against the world
I still stand
[Bridge]
You left noise where my peace should be
I found light in the debris
No more begging, no more debt
No more bleeding, no more threat
Hands off
Heart on lock
I won't fold
I won't stop
[Final Chorus]
Brick by brick, I built this wall
Brick by brick, I took the fall
You don't get in, you don't get through
I am my home now, not your bruise
Brick by brick, I rise again
Brick by brick, I break the chain
If it's me against the world
I still stand
