Lyrics
I will bring you ruin In everything I do It’s never my intention but it happens all the same

It starts with love and comfort Becomes a strength of will But all that strength made rubble of the towers we built

Cos brick by brick you built us And I’d fill in the cracks. Nothing quite prepares you for When they don’t come back

I wish I’d done things different I wish that I’d been brave I wish I’d known these stones were something I could save

Our mortar was your laughter And you hurled curses at the land We didn’t talk. We made universes Out of bitten lips and broken hands

And you said I love you less Than when It all began And I said fewer Cos I make jokes to show how broken I really am

In the wreck of all we burnt Stands our piano like a wound I play our song To see if it’s in tune /And I'll sing silence

But you, you sit next to me And your finger brushes mine And I promise to be patient And you promise to be, promise to be kind

Cos brick by brick you built us Of the earth, the silt and ground We can rest, you say, in the pieces Of what’s left, or of what what we’ve found

I wish I’d done things different I wish I’d made it right But we’ll burn a hundred theatres If it means we get the wallpaper right

I’ll brick by brick rebuild us Out of hows and whys not whens Nothing quite prepared me for When that piano sang again

Tomorrow I’ll do things different Tomorrow I’ll be brave Tomorrow I’ll be brave Tomorrow I’ll be brave You’ll make me brave
