Bricks And Mortar

A building, old posters and showtimes,
A marquee, a landmark with broken lights.
You’re only bricks and mortar—
Seats and a movie screen.

So why do I feel like I’m letting you down?
I tried but I just couldn’t turn things around
I swear that I can feel your heart breaking—
Or is it mine?

My first job, my first date kids and just holding hands
You saw the birth of my daughters, the death of my closest friend
You’re only bricks and mortar—
And some popcorn memories

The whole dam thing is falling apart
One final scene, a cigarette burn cue mark
I swear that I can feel your heart breaking—
or, it could be mine

No hero, no white horse, a slapstick comedy,
I’m a walk-on extra, in a B movie —
And you’re only bricks and mortar
Roll credits please

I swear that I can feel your heart breaking

I tried, I tried to turn things around
But in The End I let you down
I swear that I can feel your heart breaking—
No, it’s mine—
