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 hurting 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 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 yous' are so often bittersweet

I just hope I see you one day and you'll say to me, oh, oh...

But these high walls 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.
