How Strong Do My Walls Have To Be

Just when I start thinking that I’m over you
And I build a wall around me safe and sound
And I’ve told myself I’m free at last of loving you
Then someone speaks your name and my walls come tumbling down

Does it make you happy that you’re hurting me
It seems you like to see my falling tears
No matter how I build these walls surrounding me
You know they’ll turn to dust when you appear

Chorus I can’t build one strong enough that you can’t tear apart
I can’t build one high enough to keep you from my heart
So here behind these trembling walls I’m dying can’t you see
How high, how strong do my walls have to be

Many times I tell myself I’m such a fool
To want you even though you don’t want me
But every time I close my eyes I think of you
I’m haunted by your sweet, sweet memory

Repeat Chorus
