Brick by brick I built a house around my heart
Till the walls were high enough to keep me apart
From everyone and everything I had failed

All alone inside my fortress I was safe
No one there but me, it was lonely, but I was great
With no one to hurt, and no one to hurt me

Then you came around and tore my walls down

Consider me now considerably out of my element
Push coming to shove nobody could love who I really am till you
Lord, you are my breakthrough

Took me years to build the walls I lived behind
And only minutes to regret staying inside
Why did I hide, why did I wait for so long

Cause I was sure that I was better on my own
But Love could never leave not well enough alone
So you broke me down and you broke me out of myself

The safety I knew was never safe compared to you

Consider me now considerably out of my element
Push coming to shove nobody could love who I really am till you
Lord, you are my breakthrough
