lyrics

Ten years ago we had, we had it all, what a love we had
I’d be in the garden feeling sad for my friends who didn’t have this
Faithful in all times, we built a home, a family, I had no worries
I felt your love even when I nagged or lost my patience
Though you never did, you were always kind, and only gentle
I didn’t know I was making you tired when you kept quiet
Things were building up inside, ’til one day you had enough

So I built my heart walls
Thick and strong
So nothing could hurt me
Like when you left seven years ago

When you broke my heart, I still had to see you everyday
Talk over coffee, make sure the kids are happy, they behave
Put on a smile, put the pain to the side, it’s no big deal
It doesn’t matter, they’re just feelings, anyway it’s not about me

I’ll just build my heart walls
Thick and strong
So nothing can get me
My heart hardly works anymore
My heart isn’t yours, it’s mine
So I’ll tear down the walls make it alright
So nothing that’s left could hide
The love that is left and coming yet
The love that is left and coming yet

Oh I’ll build new heart walls
Soft and bright
So nothing that happens
Can stick except the light

Oh I’ll build new heart walls
Soft and bright
So nothing that happens
Can stick except the light
