Castle

(album: Nine - 2015)

Block by block, every mile I walked
Every tear that I dropped, bruised and broken piece
I be, yeah you shattered me, but I
Brick by brick put it back to this
Told me I should quit, but I was damaged
Heard you say I was rubble in your eyes

I made your words my castle
When you said that I couldn't
'Cause I wouldn't, oh!
I took the pain you gave
And turned it into a palace
Now I'm standing tall
It's my kingdom that I've built up
From these scars and nothing at all
I made your words my castle
When you said that I couldn't
'Cause I wouldn't, oh!

Golden gates came to keep me safe
From the world outside, the world I knew
Guards in place 'cause it keeps me safe from you

What good is a king with no queen of hearts?
Folded you in while I played the part
I was all in but you left me with a house of cards

I made your words my castle
When you said that I couldn't
'Cause I wouldn't, oh!
I took the pain you gave
And turned it into a palace
Now I'm standing tall
It's my kingdom that I've built up
From these scars and nothing at all
I made your words my castle
When you said that I couldn't
'Cause I wouldn't, oh!

No, I wouldn't fall
Block by block, every mile I walked
Every tear that I dropped,

I made your words my castle
When you said that I couldn't
'Cause I wouldn't, oh!
I took the pain you gave
And turned it into a palace
Now I'm standing tall
It's my kingdom that I've built up
From these scars and nothing at all
I made your words my castle
When you said that I couldn't, oh!
I wouldn't fall, no.
