Walls

Nothing wakes you up like wakin' up alone And all that's left of us is a cupboard full of clothes The day you walked away and took the higher ground Was the day that I became the man that I am now But these high walls, they came up short Now I stand taller than them all These high walls never broke my soul And I, I watched them all come fallin' down I watched them all come fallin' down for you, for you Nothing makes you hurt like hurtin' who you love (Hurtin' who you love) And no amount of words will ever be enough (Will ever be enough) I looked you in the eyes, saw that I was lost (Saw that I was lost) For every question why, you were my because (You were my because) But these high walls, they came up short Now I stand taller than them all These high walls never broke my soul And I, I watched them all come fallin' down I watched them all come fallin' down for you Fallin' down for you So this one is a thank you for what you did to me Why is it that thank-yous are so often bittersweet? I just hope I see you one day, and you say to me, "Oh, oh" But these high walls, they came up short Now I stand taller than them all These high walls never broke my soul And I, I watched them all come fallin' down I watched them all come fallin' down for you Fallin' down for you Nothing wakes you up like wakin' up alone
