Lyrics
I BUILT A WALL
Words and Music by Caroline Waters
I tried to figure out away to look inside my head
I tried to find the reason why my memory was dead
I didn't understand why there was nothing to be seen
Until I heard a little voice saying I built a wall
The wall was several stories high
It must have taken years
To build it strong enough to hold the reason for my fears
I tired to find and opening
I tried to get around
But then I heard a little voice saying
I built a wall for a reason
I built a wall, I built a wall
To forget what ever happened
I built a wall, I built a wall
To pretend it wasn't true
I built a all, I built a wall
To protect myself from you
I punched a little hole and waited patiently to see
A very sad reflection that was staring back at me
I stumbled back and tried to block the hole with an illusion
I began to understand why I built a wall
For a reason
I built a wall, I built a wall
To forget what ever happened
I built a wall, I built a wall
To pretend it wasn't true
I built a all, I built a wall
To protect myself from you
