[Intro] Yeah… They say I’m hard to love. Maybe I’m just hard to reach. [Verse 1] Heart like a brick, but I built it that way Had to learn how to smile while I carried the weight I don’t open up quick, I inspect every move You can tell me that you love me, I need something to prove I been good at goodbye, got too skilled at retreating Walk away from the people I was secretly needing If it gets too real, I start creating my distance Call it independence, really fear with resistance I can sit right beside you and still feel alone Got a phone full of contacts, still don’t pick up the phone I don’t like being vulnerable, don’t know what to say So I turn everything serious into something I play Make a joke when it hurts, change the subject when it’s deep Tell you “I’m good” when I’m losing sleep I know I got walls, I know they’re hard to climb But somebody built them once, I just maintained them with time. [Hook] Heart like a brick, don’t mean I don’t feel I just learned how to hide what’s real You can knock all night, I might not let you in Not because I don’t love you, I’m afraid of where it begins Heart like a brick, but it’s beating underneath There’s a softer side of me I don’t always let you see If you stay long enough, maybe I’ll finally admit The hardest thing I ever did was learn to trust again. [Verse 2] I know love ain’t supposed to feel like a war But I’ve been keeping score when I should’ve kept the door Looking for the exit every time somebody got close Trying to protect my heart from the people I wanted most I confuse being guarded with being strong Then wonder why everybody I love don’t stay long Truth is, sometimes I’m the reason they leave I give them every reason not to believe I don’t mean to be distant, I just move carefully Every “forever” sound temporary to me I seen promises fade, watched loyalty change Seen people say “I got you” then disappear when it rained So forgive me if I question what you say I’m still learning that everybody ain’t the same Maybe one day I’ll put the armor on the floor And let somebody love me without looking for the door. [Bridge] If I let you see the cracks Don’t mistake them for weakness That’s where the light gets in That’s where I start healing I don’t need you to save me Just don’t make me regret Opening a heart I spent years protecting. [Hook] Heart like a brick, don’t mean I don’t feel I just learned how to hide what’s real You can knock all night, I might not let you in Not because I don’t love you, I’m afraid of where it begins Heart like a brick, but it’s beating underneath There’s a softer side of me I don’t always let you see If you stay long enough, maybe I’ll finally admit The hardest thing I ever did was learn to trust again. [Outro] Heart like a brick… Still a heart. Still beating. A Million Made.
