These four walls
They whisper to me
They know a secret
I knew they would not keep
Didn't take long for the room to fill with dust
And these four walls came down around us
Must have been something sent me out of my head
With the words so radical and not what I meant
Now I wait for a break in the silence, 'cause it's all that you left
Just me and these four walls again
It's hard now to let you be
I won't make excuses
I've made my peace
Didn't take long for me to lose the trust
'Cause these four walls
Were not strong enough, oh
Must have been something sent me out of my head
With the words so radical and not what I meant
And now I wait for a break in the silence, 'cause it's all that you left
Just me and these four walls again
Yeah, it's difficult
Watching us fade
Knowing it's all my fault
My mistake
Yeah, and it's difficult
Letting you down
Knowing it's all my fault
You're not around
Must have been something sent me out of my head
With the words so radical and not what I meant
And now I wait for a break in the silence, 'cause it's all that you left
Just me and these four walls again
Again
Ooh, these four walls again
