I built a man made out of bricks

And lived inside his chest

I beat my head against the wall

To make a heartbeat in his breast

I smashed my fists against his ribs

To suck the air inside

And swing by swing and blow by blow

I brought that man to life.

I built a man and cut his skin

And lived inside his heart

I pumped it with my fingertips

And loved it from the start

And with every beat I gave it

A heartbeat of my own

And filed his veins with the blood I had

'till his blood, 'till his blood

'till his blood was my own.

I would build you up

But we're not made of the same stuff

And even though I knocked you down

You're so much stronger than me.

Well I would build you right up

But we're not made of the same stuff

And even though I knocked you down

You're so much stronger than me.
