Walls - Louis Tomlinson

(Trevor Rabin/Roger Hodgson/Jon Anderson) Don't you know it's my way out To be on my own When I feel like crying out I do it best alone Can you give me love and protection To shield my heart All the fear I feel from doubt Is tearing me apart CHORUS I wanna love, I wanna give I want to find another way to live Another shout, another cry And the walls come tumbling down Don't you know there's no way out Your pain's your own And the more we scream and shout The more we feel alone I can feel my anger rising Am I to blame? And I'm not gonna keep it inside me Do you feel the same? CHORUS And I'm calling you

I've been tryna find your heart But you keep burning all the bridges to where you are I've been looking for a spark But you just disappear and leave me here in the dark Will it really make a difference If nobody's gonna listen? How could you be close to me Physically, but feel so distant? Feels like you drew a long line And now I'm on the wrong side And if we don't believe the same Dream the same You leave me on the outside Behind your walls You build them up so tall You don't even hear me calling Brick by brick, I try to tear them down But you just stand your ground You don't even hear the sound of All my cannons raging Behind your walls Walls Walls Behind your walls I try to find the words But no matter what I say, I swear they go unheard And they scatter like the leaves I can tell by the look in your eyes Oh, that you don't wanna see Behind your walls You build them up so tall You don't even hear me calling Brick by brick, I try to tear them down But you just stand your ground You don't even hear the sound of All my cannons raging Behind your walls Walls Walls Behind your walls If I could change what made you this way I'd buy up that house of blame And burn it down in your name But you just stay Behind your walls Walls Walls Behind your walls Behind your walls Walls Walls Behind your walls I've been tryna find your heart But you keep burning all the bridges To where you are

I always said that I'd mess up eventually I told you that, so what did you expect from me? It shouldn't come as no surprise anymore I know you said that you'd give me another chance But you and I knew the truth of it in advance That mentally you were already out the door Never thought that giving up would be so hard God, I'm missing you and your addictive heart You're the habit that I can't break You're the feeling I can't put down You're the shiver that I can't shake You're the habit that I can't break You're the high that I need right now You're the habit that I can't break I took some time 'cause I've ran out of energy Of playing someone I heard I'm supposed to be But honestly, I don't have to choose anymore And it's been ages, different stages Come so far from Princess Park I'll always need ya In front of me, in front of me You're the habit that I can't break You're the feeling I can't put down You're the shiver that I can't shake You're the habit that I can't break You're the high that I need right now You're the habit that I can't break You gave me the time and the space I was out of control and I'm sorry, I let you down Guess that I know what I already knew I was better with you, and I miss you now You're the habit that I can't break You're the feeling I can't put down You're the shiver that I can't shake You're the habit that I can't break You're the high that I need right now You're the habit that I can't break You're the habit that I can't break You're the feeling I can't put down You're the shiver that I can't shake You're the habit that I can't break You're the high that I need right now You're the habit that I can't break

I saw you had a baby, did you Use any of the names we liked? And is your brother doin' okay? Is he still gettin' out of fights? I'm sorry that your mum don't like me I'm sorry that I brought that on myself They say, "Bitter ends turn sweet in time" Is that true of yours and mine? 'Cause, if you're lonely in Chicago, you can call me, baby Has it been long enough that you can forgive me? Just because it didn't work, doesn't mean it's meaningless to me It just wasn't meant to be Have you seen how my life's been goin'? 'Cause I've been wondering what you'd say Would you have told me to keep goin'? Or would you say to walk away? You always made me feel much better And I'll always be grateful for that They say, "Bitter ends turn sweet in time" Is that true of yours and mine? And you feel lonely in Chicago, you can call me, baby Has it been long enough that you can forgive me? Just because it didn't work, doesn't mean it's meaningless to me I didn't have to search 'cause I still know your number I bet that you didn't think that I'd remember Just because it didn't work, doesn't mean it's meaningless to me It just wasn't meant to be It just wasn't meant to be No, it just wasn't meant to be It just wasn't meant to be So, if you're lonely in Chicago, you can call me, baby Has it been long enough that you can forgive me? Just because it didn't work, doesn't mean it's meaningless to me Oh, I didn't have to search 'cause I still know your number I bet sometimes you still like to wear my jumper Just because it didn't work, doesn't mean it's meaningless to me It just wasn't meant to be

I'm not supposed to be Feelin' dirty cheap on Silver Street At quarter to three Hidden across my face In the crowd, I'm countin' up the days In a haze I'm gazin' at the floor Somebody's got your trainers on The ones that you wore when you walked out the door I've been wonderin' about what you're up to Not for the first time Not for the last time And I've been thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do Not for the first time Not for the last time We always used to say Saturdays take the pain away Nobody stays the same No matter how much you want it Some things change Some things change Through my cigarette A shadow of you sticks me to the carpet Try to ignore it Somethin' about the way The light catches the mirror in my brain It gives me shade I'm starin' at the door Somebody's got your trainers on The ones that you wore But you're not here anymore I've been wonderin' about what you're up to Not for the first time Not for the last time And I've been thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do Not for the first time Not for the last time We always used to say Saturdays take the pain away Nobody stays the same No matter how much you want it Some things change Some things change Some things change Some things change My heart might be broken But I won't be broken down My heart might be broken But I won't be broken down We always used to say Saturdays take the pain away Nobody stays the same No matter how much you want it How much you want it We always used to say Saturdays take the pain away Nobody stays the same No matter how much you want it Some things change

Sometimes, I wake up, and I hear you through the silence You let your pride hide all your beauty and your kindness So fast to judge in error You thought you knew me better So quick to kill forever You used to read me like a headline So many reasons now you're not mine Maybe if you'd taken more time I'd still be the one you wanna talk to every night, oh-oh If you got in my head You wouldn't be scared of what you'd find You used to read me like a headline Oh, that's the reason now you're not mine anymore You spent your summer workin' for your education While I was runnin' after dreams that kept us waitin' You never told me never I guess I never knew we'd have the shortest forever Thought I could, but I can't forget you You used to read me like a headline So many reasons now you're not mine Maybe if you'd taken more time I'd still be the one you wanna talk to every night, oh-oh If you got in my head You wouldn't be scared of what you'd find You used to read me like a headline Oh, that's the reason now you're not mine anymore You used to read me like a headline You used to read me like a headline Sometimes, I wake up, and I wish you were beside me
