Build Around Your Heart A Wall

Capo on 4th In a vacant old park I watched from the dark The old church was on fire, I buried my lighter So no one could tell I was runnin' God forgive me but he had it comin' She was barely fifteen, midwest town sleepy scene I was two grades above her, completely in love with her One look from those eyes I was done in God forgive me but he had it coming It was deadly crooked fangs When outside a church bell clangs Well rise and fall curtain call Build around your heart a wall Of brick and stone both thick and tall Build around your heart a wall With my hand on her head, in her hospital bed And the secret she kept that would lead to her death Well that fucker he took what he wanted And I promised he'd get what was coming Well she never made a sound When he pushed her to the ground Well rise and fall curtain call Build around your heart a wall Of brick and stone both thick and tall Build around your heart a wall I tried to keep breathing as the last car was leaving Drank myself courageous, crept behind the stage Toward the target for which I was gunnin' God forgive me but he had it coming It was deadly crooked fangs When outside a church bell clangs Well rise and fall curtain call Build around your heart a wall Of brick and stone both thick and tall Build around your heart a wall Build around your heart a wall
