Walls by Melodie Yvonne
If you’re only gonna be here for three months then why be here at all?
If you’re only gonna feel me half the time then why feel me at all?
If you’re not gonna make it passed the rain then don’t come out at all
Yeah I’ve got a lot of time to give, but you’ve got none at all
If you’re only gonna promise to let me down then why promise at all?
If you’re only gonna promise to walk away then stop makin’ me crawl
If you’re only gonna step in half my life then don’t step in at all
I put it all out in front to you, but you just put up walls
If you’re only gonna be here for three months then why be here at all?
If you weren’t gonna be there to pick me up then why’d you let me fall?
If you weren’t gonna give me all your heart then why give it at all?
It takes a real man to build a life, so you just built a wall
Yeah, it takes a real man to build a life, so you just put up walls
