We laid the first brick when we fell asleep back to back, yeah
You left for your work in the morning without saying goodbye
I stayed home distorting the story, twisting the facts

I should have known what we had
Never thought it'd 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

Won’t come down
Won’t come down, hey
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
Won’t come down
