lyrics

i was lonely but free
but i've got burned
oh i've got burned
didn't know where i could run to
oh i been shown a lot of change
but i didn't know oh i didn't know
its all the same it can be so strange

give it to yourself
give it to your dear old friend
and i know
you'll only toss me a grin
and here ill say it again
its not enough to be cold
and wall yourself off

pick brick by brick and mainly
stack them up in years
different textures but hard withstanding
experience against the years

oh i felt sorry for myself
now isn't that strange
if not to lame given all my damn good health
oh i was torn in by fear
but i learned
oh i've learned
all you can do is see it through

give it to yourself
give it to your dear old friend
and i know, just for show, you'll only toss me a grin
and i here ill say it again
its not enough to be cold
and wall yourself off

pick brick by brick and mainly
stack them up in years
different textures but hard withstanding
experience against the years

roll down
lets see
that big wall of surprise
come down
lets see
that big wall of surprise
roll down
lets see
that big wall of surprise
come down
lets see
theres a certain beauty in life
