My heartache is my mistake, you see
Would you say that is possessive of me?
But I want to smile with everybody
My heartache is my mistake, you see
I need to build a wall around me
Well, I am conscious of the way that I act
I need to build a wall around me
I wish I was fiction, I wish I was fact
But I want to smile with everybody
Would you say that is possessive of me?
I need to build a wall around me
But I want to smile with everybody
I need to build a wall around me
I'm not a pet who does tricks at the drop of a hat
Maybe you've been drinking from the Devil's bowl
Would you say that is possessive of me?
I need to build a wall around me
We act a little bit strange
I can't express myself 'cause I'm not fully grown
My heartache is my mistake, you see
Makes me alter and change, change, change, change
I need to build a wall around me
I need to build a wall around me
The dark sky threatens me daily
But I won't betray you, you can be sure of that
Yes, we feel bad in winter
But I want to smile with everybody
I need to build a wall around me
My heartache is my mistake
