Nothing wakes you up like wakin' up alone 00:21

00:27

And all that's left of us is a cupboard full of clothes 00:31

00:38

The day you walked away and took the higher ground 00:42

00:49

Was the day that I became the man that I am now 00:53

But these high walls, they came up short 01:01

Now I stand taller than them all 01:06

These high walls never broke my soul 01:12

And I, I watched them all come fallin' down 01:17

I watched them all come fallin' down for you, for you 01:21

01:30

Nothing makes you hurt like hurtin' who you love (Hurtin' who you love) 01:36

And no amount of words will ever be enough (Will ever be enough) 01:47

I looked you in the eyes, saw that I was lost (Saw that I was lost) 01:58

For every question why, you were my because (You were my because) 02:08

But these high walls, they came up short 02:17

Now I stand taller than them all 02:22

These high walls never broke my soul 02:28

And I, I watched them all come fallin' down 02:33

I watched them all come fallin' down for you 02:37

Fallin' down for you 02:43

02:48

So this one is a thank you for what you did to me 02:50

Why is it that thank-yous are so often bittersweet? 02:56

I just hope I see you one day, and you say to me, "Oh, oh" 03:01

But these high walls, they came up short 03:11

Now I stand taller than them all 03:16

These high walls never broke my soul 03:21

And I, I watched them all come fallin' down 03:26

I watched them all come fallin' down for you 03:31

Fallin' down for you 03:38

03:43

Nothing wakes you up like wakin' up alone 03:46

[English]

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
