Brick by Brick

my fav song by her. everything about it is great.

"The weight of my words Are like feathers from a bird My mouth, it moves but you won't hear a thing"

Her words mean very little to him as this point, she has lost her importance in his life.

"Cause I've dug myself deep I managed to fit both my hands and feet"

She is mainly to blame for the situation at hand.

"All my little white lies Smell like a big old bucket of bleach"

She has screwed up and been dishonest in the past, but tries to wash herself clean from all of her past mistakes.

"In one ear And out your other So lock and key You won't open up for me"

He is closed off from her, and uninterested in anything she has to say as this point.

"So brick by brick I am breaking through these walls Oh between you and me I'm not giving up I'm not giving up on love"

She is doing everything she can to get back to what they once were.

"And it feels like you're in China And I am in Peru Oh when ever I am sleeping next to you We can hear the crickets singing Oh all throughout the night"

There is a profound distance between the two of them. They lie in bed and literally don't speak a word to each other.

"Oh boy when can we just get used To something so right?"

She is asking him to go back to the way things were, get used to the two of them again, because they are so right together.

"And sure I confess I'm a mess I'm a mess of mistakes But please count to ten Before you go and throw it all away"

She admits it's her fault, but wants him to take a little time to think things over before he gives up on her.

"Cause if you give up Then what am I supposed to do All of these dreams Never will come true Without you"

She can't live without him. She's not who she is meant to be if he's not by her side.

This is a really, really beautiful song that proves that she indeed a very talented singer.

The meaning above mines explains it all. I love this song the lyrics were so deep.

I think this song is about a woman who has cheated on a man. She told lies to him, an dug herself deeper in a hole. Once he found out, he wouldn't listen to her. She wasn't important to him anymore. But she won't give up on the love, so she tries to make things right with him to make the love right again.

It's a really pretty song, and Katy's voice sounds amazing on it.
