Let the Walls Come Down (Extended 2)

Verse 1

I built walls to keep me safe

Brick by brick I sealed the space

Every door I locked with doubt

Till I couldn't find my way out

Pre-Chorus

But heaven knows I'm tired now

I hear the knocking getting loud

Somebody's hand against my stone

I'm not sure I stand alone

Chorus

Let the walls come down tonight

Watch the stones give up the fight

I've been hiding far too long

In a fortress that felt wrong

Let the walls come down

Post-Chorus

Down down down

(Falling down)

Down down down

(Walls come down)

Verse 2

I painted every crack with fear

Told myself that walls were dear

But the silence grew so cold

In the shelter that I sold

Pre-Chorus

And I can feel the daylight bleed

Through the mortar and the creed

Every secret I confessed

Asking why I did my best

Chorus

Let the walls come down tonight

Watch the stones give up the fight

I've been hiding far too long

In a fortress that felt wrong

Let the walls come down

Post-Chorus

Down down down

(Falling down)

Down down down

Bridge

I was so afraid to bend

Afraid to love and lose again

But a heart that never breaks

Is a heart that never takes

A chance on something new

So I'm tearing through

Tearing through for you

Chorus

Let the walls come down tonight

Watch the stones give up the fight

I've been hiding far too long

In a fortress that felt wrong

Let the walls come down

Post-Chorus

Down down down

(Falling down)

Down down down

(Walls come down)

Verse 3

I can feel the floor give way

There's no prison left to lay

Every stone I stacked so high

Is a memory passing by

Pre-Chorus

And the air is getting sweet

I can breathe with naked feet

Standing where the ruins fall

I don't need the walls at all

Chorus

Let the walls come down tonight

Watch the stones give up the fight

I've been hiding far too long

In a fortress that felt wrong

Let the walls come down

Post-Chorus

Down down down

(Falling down)

Down down down

(Walls come down)

Verse 4

I was taught that love would sting

That the hurt was everything

But I'm learning day by day

Pain is not the price I pay

Pre-Chorus

And I'm standing in the sun

Counting every fight I've won

Walls were never made to stay

They were just a winter day

Chorus

Let the walls come down tonight

Watch the stones give up the fight

I've been hiding far too long

In a fortress that felt wrong

Let the walls come down

Post-Chorus

Down down down

(Falling down)

Down down down

(Walls come down)

Bridge

Open arms and open doors

I don't know what's in the store

But I'm ready for the rain

Ready for the joy and pain

Every stranger, every friend

Every beginning has an end

And I'm not afraid to fall

'Cause I've already lost the wall

Final Chorus

Let the walls come down tonight

Watch the stones give up the fight

I've been hiding far too long

In a fortress that felt wrong

Let the walls come down

Outro

Let them fall

(Let them fall)

Let them fall

(Let them fall)

I built walls to keep me safe

Now I'm standing in my place

No more walls

(No more walls)

No more walls
