Barriers Lyrics by Jessica Mauboy

Beautiful (Platinum Edition)

2013

[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah, ah...

[Verse 1]
I, I thought I really had it all
I, I never really had to fall in love again
For a life full of happiness, yeah
Taught my heart to never have a say
Since the day I built a barricade and closed it in
Nobody was getting in (Uh, uh, uh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Call me a fool 'cause I was running a mile
Call me a fool 'cause I was so in denial
Somehow you found a way to make me wanna change
I don't wanna turn back now!

[Chorus]
'Cause this is the moment the barrier's broken
I'm finally gonna let it out
Now my mind stopped thinking, my heart's now ticking
The barriers are breaking down
The future was frozen, reality poisoned
Till the day you came around
Got my world to start spinning out
The barriers are breaking down

[Post-Chorus]
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Oh)
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Breaking down)
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Oh-ooh, huh)

[Verse 2]
This, this world can be a funny place
Just like that I'm in a different space holding on (Yeah, yeah)
This time I ain't letting go, whoa-oh
I hid away my feelings for so long
So deep you, you brought them back to the surface
And then you showed me why it was worth it, uh huh

[Pre-Chorus]
Call me a fool 'cause I was running a mile
Call me a fool 'cause I was so in denial
Somehow you found a way to make me wanna change
I don't wanna turn back now!

[Chorus]
'Cause this is the moment the barrier's broken
I'm finally gonna let it out
Now my mind stopped thinking, my heart's now ticking
The barriers are breaking down
The future was frozen, reality poisoned
Till the day you came around
Got my world to start spinning out
The barriers are breaking down

[Post-Chorus]
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Oh)
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Breaking down)
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Oh-ooh)

[Bridge]
Think once, think twice
And you're thinking way too much
I gotta let my heart outside, ah ah, ah ah
'Cause this is the moment the barrier's broken
Oh, it's broken
Oh, it's broken, it's broken!

[Chorus]
'Cause this is the moment the barrier's broken
I'm finally gonna let it out
Now my mind stopped thinking, my heart's now ticking
The barriers are breaking down (No)
The future was frozen, reality poisoned (Yeah yeah)
Till the day you came around
Got my world to start spinning out
The barriers are breaking down

[Post-Chorus]
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Oh)
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Breaking down)
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Breaking down, oh-oh)

[Outro]
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Breaking down)
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down (Breaking down)
Break, break, breaking down, breaking down
Uh ah, the barriers are breaking down
