Nothing wakes you up like waking 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 falling down I watched them all come falling down for you For you Nothing makes you hurt like hurtin' who you love (hurting who you love) And no amount of words will ever be enough (never 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 falling down I watched them all come falling down for you Falling down for you So this one is a thank you for what you did to me Why is it that 'thank you's' are so often bittersweet I just hope I see you one day and you'll 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 falling down I watched them all come falling down for you Falling down for you Nothing wakes you up like waking up alone
