“Walls Could Talk” is about a relationship where on the surface, things seem normal, but they fight in privacy, so they split up. The aftermath of the relationship is shown throughout the song as both of them speak from their point-of-view about the relationship.
[Verse 1: Halsey]
Been about three days and I'm comin' back
I'm about four minutes from a heart attack
And I think you make me a maniac
But you don't know
Two years and we in between
But we both been here since we seventeen
Here we go, fist fight in a limousine
But they don't know
[Pre-Chorus: Halsey]
And we both hope there's something
But we bo-both keep fronting
And it's a closed discussion
And I'm thinking "Damn if these walls could talk"
[Chorus: Halsey]
(Oh-oh-oh)
Well, they'd be like
(Oh-oh-oh)
"Shit is crazy right?"
(Oh-oh-oh)
That ain't your baby no more
[Verse 2: Halsey]
Been about two weeks since you went away
I'm about halfway through a Cabernet
And I go, I'm wastin' a Saturday
Sittin' at home
Told my new roommate not to let you in
But you're so damn good with a bobby pin
Now you gon' play me like a violin
Hittin' these notes
[Pre-Chorus: Halsey]
And we both hope there's something
But we bo-both keep fronting
And it's a closed discussion
And I'm thinking "Damn if these walls could talk"
[Chorus: Halsey]
(Oh-oh-oh)
Well, they'd be like
(Oh-oh-oh)
"Shit is crazy right?"
(Oh-oh-oh)
That ain't your baby no more
[Verse 3: Nico Collins]
Been about two weeks since I went away
Not my fault, you win every game we play
There you go, making me always take the blame
Why you so low?
On your knees
I come back 'cause you want me too
But you act like I'm the one who's haunting you
'Cause you won't ever look at my point of view
With your eyes closed
[Pre-Chorus: Nico Collins]
And we both hope there's something
But we bo-both keep fronting
And it's a closed discussion
And I'm thinking "Damn if these walls could talk"
[Chorus: Nico Collins & Halsey]
(Oh-oh-oh)
Well, they'd be like
(Oh-oh-oh)
"Shit is crazy right?"
(Oh-oh-oh)
I ain't your baby no more
(Oh-oh-oh)
Well, they'd be like
(Oh-oh-oh)
"Shit is crazy right?"
(Oh-oh-oh)
That ain't your baby no more
[Bridge: Nico Collins]
Forgive me baby but it's hard to read your mind
When you love me in the bedroom but you're breaking dishes
So stop your crying you're the one who picks the fight
When you pull me back and forth now girl you got me thinking
"Damn, if these walls could talk"
[Chorus: Nico Collins & Halsey]
(Oh-oh-oh)
Well, they'd be like
(Oh-oh-oh)
"Shit is crazy right?"
(Oh-oh-oh)
That ain't your baby no more
(Oh-oh-oh)
Well, they'd be like (They'd be like, they'd be like)
(Oh-oh-oh)
"Shit is crazy right?" (Shit is crazy right)
(Oh-oh-oh)
That ain't your baby no more (I ain't your baby no more)
[Outro: Nico Collins & Halsey]
Hey
(Oh-oh-oh)
No more
(Oh-oh-oh)
I ain't your baby no more
