BRICK WALL SYNDROME

I knock three times,

you don't answer me

I see your shadow moving through the blinds quietly

I leave a little note underneath your door

You pick it up,

but I don't know what you're waiting for

I've kept my hands wide open for you

Made myself smaller just to make

room for two You build another wall every time I get close

And I'm starting to wonder who I'm loving the most

You come near, then disappear

I hold on, you shift the gears

Every time

I think you're mine You retreat behind the line Brick wall,

brick wall, standing in between I can see you through the cracks,

but you won't let me see Brick wall,

brick wall, how long can I knock?

I keep giving you my heart,

you keep changing every lock

Push me away, pull me close

Tell me which one hurts the most Brick wall,

brick wall, I can't break through I'm tired of building bridges just

to watch them fall on you You tell me that you're fine

with your eyes on the floor

Then disappear for days and come knocking at my door

I memorize the silence,

I know what every pause means I become a little detective in

a house full of mysteries You say you need some space,

so I give you the room

Then you come back crying like you always do I hold you

through the storm, you promise you'll stay

Then the morning comes and you start running away

You come near, then disappear

I hold on, you shift the gears

Every time I think you're mine You retreat behind the line

Brick wall, brick wall,

standing in between I can see you through the cracks,

but you won't let me see Brick wall,

brick wall, how long can I knock?

I keep giving you my heart,

you keep changing every lock

Push me away, pull me close

Tell me which one hurts the most Brick wall,

brick wall, I can't break through I'm tired of building bridges just

to watch them fall on you What are you afraid I'll find

If you let me past the line?

I'm not asking you to bleed

I'm just asking you to need me

But I can't keep waiting here

For a version of you that isn't scared If you won't open

up the door

I don't know what I'm fighting for Brick wall,

brick wall, standing in between I can see you through the cracks,

but you won't let me see Brick wall,

brick wall, I'm done with the knock You can keep another key,

I'm finally changing the lock

Push me away, pull me close

I know which one hurts the most Brick wall,

brick wall, I can't break through

Maybe loving you means finally choosing me over you I knock once...

Nothing. (ahhhh) I knock twice...

Nothing.

So I turn around And leave you with your wall.
