I hit a wall, I never felt so low, so low Like a waterfall, my tears dropped to the floor, the floor They left a swimming pool of salted crimes, crimes Oh, what could I do to change your mind? Nothing I'm bracing for the pain and I am letting go I'm using all my strength to get out of this hole I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer Yeah I hit a wall, I prayed that I would make it through, make it through I can't survive a life that's without you, that's without you, yeah And I will rise up from the ashes now, the ashes now Oh, the sparrow flies with just the crumbs of loving spilled, yeah I was bracing for the pain and then I let it go I gathered all my strength and I found myself whole I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
