Cary Ann Hearst - Build Around Your Heart A Wall lyrics

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 comin It was deadly crooked fangs But outside a church-bell clangs Well rise and fall, curtain call Build around your heart a wall Brick and stone both thick and tall Build around your heart a wall With my hand on her head In a hospital bed In the secrets she kept That would lead to her d**h Well the f*cker had took what he wanted And I promised he'd get what was comin But 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 breathin As the last car was leavin Drank myself courageous Crept behind the stage Towards the target for which I was gunnin God forgive me but he had it comin It was deadly crooked fangs But outside a church-bell clangs Well rise and fall, curtain call Build around your heart a wall Brick and stone both thick and tall Build around your heart a wall Build around your heart a wall
