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 watch them all come fallin' down
I watch 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 watch them all come fallin' down
I watch 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 watch them all come fallin' down
I watch them all come fallin' down for you
Fallin' down for you
Nothing wakes you up like wakin' up alone
