I'm  hoping it'll all get better
But  it keeps on getting worse
Time  and time again
People  running as the earth shakes
Just  another earthquake coming in
To  break my faith in this
Wind  blowing off the rooftops
Water  in the basements
Looking  like lightning strikes again
Story  ends and another begins
And  they will keep on coming
They  will keep on coming
Every  single flame  burns bright and fades
 But that's okay
My  best-laid plans are washed away
No  time to make 'em all again
Sometimes  life gets in the way
We've  got to keep on breathing
Look  how far we've come
 Look what we've made
 Started from nothing,  building
:
Brick  by, brick by
 Brick by, brick by
Brick  by, brick by
 Brick
So  we're back to broken hearted
Back  to where we started
Everything  we built gone down again
If  this was in the movies
It's  said to be the truth
Bet  no one would believe a word of it
Far  reaching on the hillsides
Losing  by a landslide
Everybody's  patience wearing thin
The  drama ends and another begins
But  if everybody loses, everybody  wins
Every  single flame  burns bright and fades
 But that's okay
My  best-laid plans are washed away
No  time to make 'em all again
Sometimes  life gets in the way
We've  got to keep on breathing
Look  how far we've come
 Look what we've made
 Started from nothing,  building
:
Brick  by, brick by
 Brick by, brick by
Brick  by, brick by
 Brick
All  we have is us
 To build back up
 What we have lost
But  that's enough
Every  single flame  burns bright and fades
 But that's okay
My  best-laid plans are washed away
No  time to make 'em all again
Sometimes  life gets in the way
We've  got to keep on breathing
Look  how far we've come
 Look what we've made
 Started from nothing,  building
:
 My best-laid plans are washed away (Brick by x5)
 No time to make 'em all again (Brick by brick)
 Sometimes life gets in the way (Brick by x5)
 We've got to keep on breathing (Brick by brick)
