Came in like the breeze, I felt it in my knees Never will it leave Each day it is retrieved Seems like yesterday Your eyes crept this way Into my soul you stared And broke down every fear We built our own house, own house With our hands over our hearts And we swore on that day That it will never fall apart We built our own house, own house With our hands over our hearts And we swore on that day That it will never fall apart Will never fall apart Will never fall apart With our hands over our hearts Will never fall apart Wake up to the sun Clouds always come undone You give the light I need Like water to a seed Read it in a tale One too tall to be real And prove me wrong it seems A heart can truly gleam We built our own house, own house With our hands over our hearts And we swore on that day That it will never fall apart We built our own house, own house With our hands over our hearts And we swore on that day That it will never fall apart Will never fall apart Will never fall apart With our hands over our hearts Will never fall apart Take it all, take it away We'll still have this undying Love that is beating 'Til our lungs stop breathing Take it all, take it away We'll still have our riches, No need for stitches 'Cause love mends the pain [Bridge]Take it all, take it away (Hey, hey, love mends the pain) Take it all, take it away (Hey, hey, love mends the pain) Take it all, take it away (Hey, hey, love mends the pain) Take it all, take it away Take it all We built our own house, own house With our hands over our hearts And we swore on that day That it will never fall apart Will never fall apart Will never fall apart With our hands over our hearts Will never fall apart
