These Walls Lyrics

[00:15.89] Maybe we should switch careers
[00:18.43] 'Cause baby, you know no one beats our poker faces
[00:23.30] And when the night ends up in tears
[00:26.46] Wake up and we blame it all on bein' wasted
[00:31.59] Oh, this love is fadin'
[00:39.17] So much we're not sayin'
[00:44.89] But if these walls could talk
[00:47.64] (They'd say) "Enough"
[00:49.50] (They'd say) "Give up"
[00:52.91] If these walls could talk
[00:55.59] (They'd say) "You know"
[00:57.31] (They'd say) "You're fucked"
[01:00.22] It's not supposed to hurt this much
[01:04.00] Oh, if these walls could talk
[01:08.33] They'd tell us to break up
[01:10.85] (These walls, these walls, these walls)
[01:16.00] They'd tell us to break up
[01:18.72] (These walls, these walls, these walls, these walls)
[01:26.02] They tell us, "Go and face your fears"
[01:28.75] It's getting worse the longer that we stay together
[01:33.62] We call it love but hate it here
[01:36.76] Did we really mean it when we said "forever"?
[01:40.80] Oh, this love is fadin'
[01:49.49] So much we're not sayin'
[01:55.15] But if these walls could talk
[01:57.68] (They'd say) "Enough"
[01:59.69] (They'd say) "Give up" (I know)
[02:03.25] If these walls could talk
[02:05.54] (They'd say) "You know"
[02:07.44] (They'd say) "You're fucked"
[02:10.54] It's not supposed to hurt this much
[02:14.24] Oh, if these walls could talk
[02:18.58] They'd tell us to break up
[02:21.24] (These walls, these walls, these walls)
[02:26.32] They'd tell us to break up
[02:29.07] (These walls, these walls, these walls)
[02:33.92] They'd tell us to break up
[02:37.12] You don't wanna go (go)
[02:39.54] Don't wanna stop (stop)
[02:41.97] Heaven knows I (I)
[02:45.47] Don't wanna be the one to cut it off
[02:49.79] But if these walls could talk
[02:52.48] (They'd say) "Enough"
[02:54.22] (They'd say) "Give up" (give it up, give it up)
[02:57.92] If these walls could talk
[03:00.28] (They'd say) "You know"
[03:02.08] (They'd say) "You're fucked" (yeah, you know)
[03:05.00] (Yeah, you know you're fucked) it's not supposed to hurt this much
[03:08.80] Oh, if these walls could talk
[03:13.06] They'd tell us to break up
[03:15.83] (These walls, these walls, these walls)
[03:20.76] They'd tell us to break up
[03:23.62] (These walls, these walls, they'd tell us, "Break up")
[03:29.47]
