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 hurting who you love
And no amount of words will ever be enough
I looked you in the eyes and saw that I was lost
For every question why
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
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
Falling down for you
Nothing wakes you up like waking up alone
