Like A Brick Lyrics

She's up there on the mantle

And I'm down on the hearth

It's an existential paradigm

Now keeping us apart

Rows of bricks and mortar

Will be the death of me

Star-crossed love lost

In this wicked masonry

I'm just like the mortar

And she's just like a brick

I'm clinging to her so tightly

Like a candle to a wick

But her heart's so hard and thick

That she is like a brick

Like a brick, like a brick

Like a brick, like a brick

Now she's out there living fancy

With the rich jet set crowd

I sent her candy and flowers

But she just laughed out loud

Cracks in our foundation

Doomed us from the start

All the plans of a lonely man

Have built this broken heart

I'm just like the mortar

And she's just like a brick

I'm clinging to her so tightly

Like a candle to a wick

But her heart's so hard and thick

That she is like a brick

Like a brick, like a brick

Like a brick, like a brick
