Lyrics

I've built this facade, brick by brick
Sturdy and hard, so it resists,
All the attacks, the constant hit
I've built this facade and it covers my heart

I've build this facade, oh, brick by brick I built
I've build this facade, oh, brick by brick I built
I've build this facade, oh, and it covers my heart

Switch it on, there's all these people around
Flash a smile, your sadness is not allowed
Sing a song, whenever you find a crowd
The applause, will feel like a lost love found
They won't love you if you don't
They can't love the pain you hold
You can try to let them in
You will watch the worst unfold
To survive you'll disappear and hide inside your fears

I've build this facade and it covers my heart

I hide behind this big smile with a storyline.
I hide behind this spotlight so you don't really find
The shadows that lie behind, i've done if for years so why not do another time
They don't know understand my pain tho
I speak truth in my words so this pain turns into paint
I create art into feelings
Im a go-getter so means I go harder
Tho I should know better, I should know better
So mirror mirror will they go figure?
Open your eyes and you might see more layers
A black woman with the heart of my ancestors
And we pushing and we marching
We tired and done pretending
This is real this is raw
This is Real talk
This is the real me.
Not the one you thought.
Throw the facade like this my last shot
I won being myself so now u know my heart

I've built this facade, brick by brick
Sturdy and hard, so it resists,
All the attacks, the constant hit
I've built this facade and it covers my heart

Brick by brick, yes I built this facade (brick by brick I built)
Brick by brick, yes I built this facade (brick by brick I built)
Brick by brick, yes I built this facade (brick by brick I built)
Brick by brick, yes I built this facade (brick by brick I built)
