Brick by Brick Lyrics

The weight of my words
Are like feathers from a bird
My mouth, it moves but you won't hear a thing
'Cause I've dug myself deep
I managed to fit both my hands and feet
All my little white lies
Smell like a big old bucket of bleach

In one ear
And out your other
So lock and key
You won't open up for me

So brick by brick
I am breaking through these walls
Oh, between you and me
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving giving up

I guess
And it feels like you're in China
And I am in Peru
When ever I am sleeping next to you
We can hear the crickets singing
Oh, all throughout the night
Oh boy, can we just get used
To something so right'

And sure I confess
I'm a mess
I'm a mess of mistakes
But please count to ten
Before you go and throw it all away

So brick by brick
I am breaking through these walls
Oh, between you and me
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving giving up
On on on us

'Cause if you give up
Then what am I supposed to do
All these dreams
Never will come true
Without you
Vocal ad lib

Brick by brick
I am breaking through these walls
Oh, between you and me
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving giving up

Oh, baby don't give up
On this love
Don't give up
On this love

What is the Meaning of Brick by Brick?

Cue the construction metaphors! Katy Perry dives deep into relationship repair, swapping out her candy-colored wigs for a hard hat and some emotional cement. The song is about persistence despite barriers, like trying to cuddle a cactus because it's still love. Crickets serenade the night, symbolizing the awkward silence between lovers who feel continents apart in the same bed. Katy’s vocal pep talk reassures us: while her baggage might stink like bleach, she’s determined to dismantle the walls with relentless love. So, keep your hard hats on, folks – love is a construction zone, and she's not clocking out anytime soon. #LoveConstruction #NeverGiveUp
