Came in like the breeze, 
I felt it in my knees
Never will it leave
Each day it is retrieved

Seems like yesterday
Your eyes crept this way
Into my soul you stared
And broke down every fear

We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore on that day
That it will never fall apart

We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore on that day
That it will never fall apart

Will never fall apart
Will never fall apart
With our hands over our hearts
Will never fall apart

Wake up to the sun
Clouds always come undone
You give the light I need
Like water to a seed

Read it in a tale
One too tall to be real
And prove me wrong it seems
A heart can truly gleam

We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore on that day
That it will never fall apart

We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore on that day
That it will never fall apart

Will never fall apart
Will never fall apart
With our hands over our hearts
Will never fall apart

Take it all, take it away
We'll still have this undying
Love that is beating
'Til our lungs stop breathing

Take it all, take it away
We'll still have our riches, 
No need for stitches
'Cause love mends the pain

[Bridge]Take it all, take it away
(Hey, hey, love mends the pain)
Take it all, take it away
(Hey, hey, love mends the pain)
Take it all, take it away
(Hey, hey, love mends the pain)
Take it all, take it away
Take it all

We built our own house, own house
With our hands over our hearts
And we swore on that day
That it will never fall apart

Will never fall apart
Will never fall apart
With our hands over our hearts
Will never fall apart
