[Verse 1]
I was hurt once before
I swore, never again
I'm closing the door to love
I'll never let it in
So I drifted along
By my lonely self
Trying hard just to be so strong
Not needing someone else
[Chorus]
Don't ask 'cause I don't know why
But boy, since you've been around
All the walls that I've built so high
Are tumbling down
And sometimes it makes me cry
To see what I think I found
And all the walls that I've built so high
Are tumbling down
[Verse 2]
Was it the smile in your eyes
Or the touch of your hand?
Was it the way that you stood so tall
When I could hardly stand?
In the whispering times
Or in the eye of a storm
Was it the way that you held me close
That made me feel reborn?
[Chorus]
Don't ask 'cause I don't know why
But boy, since you've been around
All the walls that I've built so high
Are tumbling down
And sometimes it makes me cry
To see what I think I found
And all the walls that I've built so high
Are tumbling down
And all the walls that I've built so high
Are tumbling down
[Guitar Solo]
