Lyrics

Rough around the edges
His uncouth and lout nature
Made me wanna gild the gaps
Give tools to patch his cracks
I'm one who loved unwisely
But too well unrequitedly
Ooo my inner alarm went off many times
Ooo believed if I loved him the sound would die
Build and build and fix and fix
I made him my damn mission
Lifted him up oh so high
I was working overtime
Just to get him to love me right
Now I know better
Than to become the fixer
Barbara the builder
But she's gone
So gone
Fighting tooth and nail
So my heart wouldn't tear
Chipped away I left spent
Thinking I'd get a return
On my investment in my skyscraper
But it stayed dilapidated
Ooo my inner alarm went off many times
Ooo believed if I loved him the sound would die
Build and build and fix and fix
I made him my damn mission
Lifted him up oh so high
I was working overtime
Just to get him to love me right
Now I know better
Than to become the fixer
Barbara the builder
But she's gone
So gone
So gone
I built you up so high
You tore me down cause I
Signed up for a job I wasn't capable of
And now I know the siren would never die
No matter how hard I would try
Building a castle in the sky
Build and build and fix and fix
I made him my damn mission
Lifted him up oh so high
I was working overtime
Just to get him to love me right
Now I know better
Than to become the fixer
Barbara the builder
But she's gone
So gone
