Ellie Holcomb
Brick by Brick
[Verse 1: Ellie Holcomb]
What if I believed it when you said you want to be around me?
What if I could see that you have been here all along?
And suddenly the story that I told myself is unraveling
The more l'm in your company, the less I am alone
[Chorus: Drew Holcomb & Ellie Holcomb, Ellie Holcomb]
Brick by brick, you're taking this wall apart
It took me years to build that fortress around my broken heart
But your patient hand goes stone by stone
Pain can build a prison, but your love's making me a home
[Verse 2: Ellie Holcomb]
It's funny how your eye adjust to living in the basement
You said that it might take some time to get used to the light
All those years of bracing for a bitter storm that came and went
And I've been trying ever since to shake off the night
[Chorus: Drew Holcomb & Ellie Holcomb, Ellie Holcomb]
Brick by brick, you're taking this wall apart
It took me years to build that fortress around my broken heart
But your patient hand goes stone by stone
Pain can build a prison, but your love's making me a home
[Bridge: Ellie Holcomb]
Every word out of your mouth is a truth I've never heard
Everything is different now we've rearranged the furniture
And I would rather be with you than hang around with anyone else
The more I'm spending time with you, the more I am myself
[Chorus: Drew Holcomb & Ellie Holcomb, Ellie Holcomb]
Brick by brick, we're taking this wall apart
It took me years to build that fortress around my broken heart
But your patient hand goes stone by stone
Pain can build a prison, but your love's making me a home
Yeah, your love's making me a home, home
Your love's making me a home
Pain can build a prison, mm, but your love's making me a home
