We laid the first brick when we fell asleep
Back to back, yeah
And you left for your work in the morning
Without saying goodbye
I stayed home distorting the story
Twisting the facts

I should of known what we had
Never thought it would get this bad, oh

Now there's a wall
That I wish we could break
But it won't come down
We laid every stone
Through the fault of our own
And it won't come down
Won't come down

I laid a brick when you came back home
In the evening
I didn't hear when you tried to say
What you were feeling
And you built it up when you said you'd be
Better off alone

Higher and higher it rose
Until we lost all control, oh

Now there's a wall
That I wish we could break
But it won't come down
We laid every stone
Through the fault of our own
And it won't come down
Won't come down

It won't come down
It won't come down, hey
It won't come down, down, down

Now there's a wall
That I wish we could break
But it won't come down
We laid every stone
Through the fault of our own
And it won't come down

Now there's a wall
That I wish we could break
But it won't come down
We laid every stone
Through the fault of our own
And it won't come down
Won't come down, yeah
Won't come down
