lyrics

I was a fortress, built on solid rock I stood
Watched the ages fall around me they swept into the sea
I was a kingdom, full of life and liberty
When they all would bow before me, in a land where they were free

Till I let you in and you stormed my walls
You broke me down, just to watch me fall
The hands that held me now tear me apart
The land I loved home of my heart

Got me crumbling down, crumbling down, baby brick by brick
Got me crumbling down, crumbling down, take me bit by bit
Got me crumbling down, crumbling down, baby bone by bone
Got me crumbling down, crumbling down, take me stone by stone

I was a fortress, now I’m ashes in the fire
Of a love that knew my weakness and fooled me with desire
I was a kingdom, now a distant memory
All the life I held inside me, now dust beneath your feet

‘Cause I let you in and you stormed by walls
You broke me down, just to watch me fall
The hands that held me now tear me a part
The land I loved, home of my heart

Got me crumbling down, crumbling down, baby brick by brick
Got me crumbling down, crumbling down, take me bit by bit
Got me crumbling down, crumbling down, baby bone by bone
Got me crumbling down, crumbling down, take me stone by stone

Bridge:
Stone by stone, gonna get ya, gonna get ya
Get you crumbling dow
