And the guilt eats away at my heart.
When I know it's falling apart.
The broken pieces seem to cut deep.
Yeah I'm struggling to keep asleep.

So I'll build another wall.
And hope I don't build it too tall.
Bricks may tumble.
This may all crumble.
But I'll start from scratch once more.
I'll start to build me once more.

A heart that's beginning to break.
My hands will shiver and shake.
When all I want is a simple smile.
I'll cry just for a little while.

So I'll build another wall.
And hope I don't build it too tall.
Bricks may tumble.
This may all crumble.
But I'll start from scratch once more.
Yeah I'll build me once more.

So take me for all that I am.
Remember that I can still love.
Know that I got a plan.
I will pray for an angel above.

This kind of sounds like the lyrics to a song, because it has very nice rhythm. Effective metaphors and beautiful work!
