[Verse 1]
Well I built these walls with brick and stone
I built them all around
I built these walls a long time ago
She ain't gonna take 'em down
No, she ain't gonna break 'em down
I built these walls with my two hands
I laid every single part
And behind these walls a coward stands
With an ego and a broken heart
An ego and a broken heart

[Chorus 1]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, she comes around
Said if I don't get lost
I won't get found
Oh-oh-oh, and I turn it 'round
Said if I don't go up
I won't come down
I won't come down

[Verse 2]
Well I built these walls around my chest
I built them thick and strong
Oh, and she can try her very best
But they've been here for too long
For long ago there was a girl
That stood there where she stands
And she reached right in and took my heart
And broke it in her hands
Oh, she broke it in her hands

[Chorus 2]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, and I suppose
If there's no rain clouds
Then nothing grows
Oh-oh-oh, but this I know
If I don't get high
I won't get low
Oh-oh-oh, and I find her strange
She wants to climb up
Where she could fall
Oh-oh-oh, she said if I don't change
Then I'll live and die
Behind these walls
Behind these walls
Behind these walls
