I only held you for a minute
And you were gone
You grew eyes you grew legs
Then you were only a song.
A song that I could sing when the world outside
Grew cold, it got old and I had nowhere to hide.
Memories coming down like buildings
After they fall, you throw diamonds and wave and hope it builds you a wall
A wall that can keep all the hurt outside, and the hate and the greed
We go blind we go blind.
All of us here know that you're lonely
And we could never doubt a single word you say
Because they have
Wrecked your body
Bruise those ribs.
Who pushed the pins right through your hands?
They wont win
They wont win.
Hallelujah we can begin again.
Repeat chorus
And you were gone
You grew eyes you grew legs
Then you were only a song.
A song that I could sing when the world outside
Grew cold, it got old and I had nowhere to hide.
Memories coming down like buildings
After they fall, you throw diamonds and wave and hope it builds you a wall
A wall that can keep all the hurt outside, and the hate and the greed
We go blind we go blind.
All of us here know that you're lonely
And we could never doubt a single word you say
Because they have
Wrecked your body
Bruise those ribs.
Who pushed the pins right through your hands?
They wont win
They wont win.
Hallelujah we can begin again.
Repeat chorus
