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
