Build A House
Stefanie Heinzmann Lyrics

We all got secrets
Everyone has things they try to keep hidden or private

We try to hide them
We attempt to keep these secrets a secret

Leave them in the cellar
We often repress our secrets and just let them sit and accumulate

Gathering dust
Our secrets collect over time and become a burden

We cover the weak bits
We hide our flaws and vulnerabilities

Show only the good sides
We present only our positive qualities and hide our negative aspects

But I don't want this
The artist does not want to continue hiding and suppressing their flaws and secrets

It's gotta feel right
The artist wants to be true and authentic to themselves and feel good about it

So let's build a house
Together, let's create something new and strong

Starting with the ground
Let's start fresh and build a solid foundation

If we work together
Collaboration and teamwork are necessary for success

We can work it out
We can find a solution and overcome obstacles

In the loudest storm
Even in difficult times or emotional turmoil

We can be so proud (whoa oh, whoa oh)
We can feel accomplished and proud of what we have built

'Cause it won't break down
Our creation is sturdy and strong, built to withstand any challenges

Let's pile up the bricks, take
Let's work hard and build something durable

The weight from our shoulders
Releasing the burden of our secrets and flaws

A house can be shaken
Life can be unpredictable and challenging, but we can still remain steadfast and resilient

But I want you to know love
The artist wants their loved one to know that they are committed and care deeply

I'll make a promise
The artist is making a vow to stick together and be honest

I swear on our life
This is a serious commitment, a bond that must be upheld

This roof will hold us
Their love and trust will be the strength that keeps them together and protected

As long as we're alive
Their love and commitment will last forever

And all the cracks and
Despite the imperfections and scars that we all carry

All the scars
The emotional wounds that we have accumulated over time

Make us stronger
These experiences make us more resilient and better able to face adversity

And who we are
Our experiences and hardships shape us into the people we become

And when the winds
Even in the face of challenges and obstacles

Come rolling in
When difficulties arise

They'll hear us sing
Our unity and strength will be evident to those around us

'Cause we won't break down
We are steadfast and resilient, capable of withstanding even the toughest challenges
