Lyrics

[Chorus] Brick by brick I'm building my walls, putting my guards up Makin' 'em tall, keepin' the light out Shades on the windows, no lookin' inside Feels like I'm safe here, there's where I hide You don't belong here, I'm keepin' you locked outside No more invasions, no infiltration, no invitations Turning out the light, closing the curtains Feels like I'm safe here, there's where I hide You don't belong here, I'm keepin' you locked outside [Refrain] I consecrated the ground here And I made this my holy land I have watered the flowers and the plants here And I own every grain of sand I reclaim this small corner of Earth here You can never take it from my hand And I'll wager a war if you come along I have sharpened defences for battle here [Chorus] So brick by brick I'm building my walls, putting my guards up Makin' 'em tall, keepin' the light out Shades on the windows, no lookin' inside Feels like I'm safe here, there's where I hide You don't belong here, I'm keepin' you locked outside Keepin' you locked outside Oh-oh [Post-Chorus] Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself Oh-oh [Refrain] I consecrated the ground here And I made this my holy land I have watered the flowers and the plants here And I own every grain of sand I reclaim this small corner of Earth here You can never take it from my hands And I'll wager a war if you come along I have sharpened defences for battle here [Chorus] So brick by brick I'm building my walls, putting my guards up Makin' 'em tall, keepin' the light out Shades on the windows, no lookin' inside Feels like I'm safe here, there's where I hide You don't belong here, I'm keepin' you locked outside Keepin' you locked outside Oh-oh [Post-Chorus] Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself (Oh-oh) Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself (Oh-oh) Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself (Oh-oh) Oh-oh Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself (Oh-oh) Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself (Oh-oh) Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself (Oh-oh) Oh-oh Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself (Ooh-ooh) Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself (Ooh-ooh) Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose yourself (Ooh-ooh) Ooh-ooh
