lyrics

I was baptized in dirty water, nobody would love me like you did
Im just gonna keep on runnin, don't look back, dont let them get inside your head, yeah
This is our life, this is our time, we keep it simple if we can
They'll build a fire to burn us in, i'll say "Do you know who I am"?

You built this house
Now let's walk on the ceiling

Baby please, can we take it down just a little more
You're not some little girl, we're both older wiser whores
so when we feel it burn, or can taste it in the air
we'll know were somewhere, but they won't want us there

What if nobody is hearing your prayers
You waste time that you dont have to spare
But if we're alone is it better to not know?

You built this house

We're going bottle after bottle again because this night didn't go as planned
With every second that i waste the result could be a lifetime of mistakes
I know theres nothing wrong with being in love,
But what if a littles not enough? when has a little been enough before?
Now everything that you said will be just a long night hopelessly knowing

Why am i alone in this room?
If it's not thanks to me then it is thanks to you
Have you ever thought that i don't wanna go
What if nobody is hearing your prayers
You waste time that you dont have to spare
But if we're alone I dont wanna know

If all we are is chemicals is that why we live like machines?

I was baptized in dirty water, nobody would love me like she did
But i'm sick and tired of runnin, i looked back, i let them get inside my head

You built this house
