[Intro]
Every time I need you
You're never there
So I go, so tell me what did I do
To keep you from holding on
[Verse 1]
I've cried the tears but that's not enough
To show you everything I'm missing
And you ask why did you leave me
Oh, why don't you believe me when I say
[Chorus]
You never tried to stop the walls from tumbling down
You never tried to pick me up when no one was around
If I could break through, if I could be strong
If I could let go, I could stop the echo of you
[Verse 2]
So, I'm running as fast as I can, here I go
You're everything I don't want
But you have what I need, you come back
You're everywhere I go
I feel you all around me and you ask, what did I do
What to keep me from you and I say
[Chorus]
You never tried to stop the walls from tumbling down
You never tried to pick me up when no one was around
If I could break through, if I could be strong
If I could let go, I could stop the echo
[Verse 3]
So many times I walked away, without leaving
Oh, but this time I'm going away believing, oh, oh
We should rewind and listen
To everything you've told me
So say goodbye to all your promises
While I promise you goodbye
[Chorus]
You never tried to stop the walls from tumbling down
You never tried to pick me up when no one was around
If I could break through, if I could be strong
If I could be right but I could be wrong
If I could break through, if I could be strong
If I could let go, I could stop the echo of you
Every time I need you
You're never there
So I go, so tell me what did I do
To keep you from holding on
[Verse 1]
I've cried the tears but that's not enough
To show you everything I'm missing
And you ask why did you leave me
Oh, why don't you believe me when I say
[Chorus]
You never tried to stop the walls from tumbling down
You never tried to pick me up when no one was around
If I could break through, if I could be strong
If I could let go, I could stop the echo of you
[Verse 2]
So, I'm running as fast as I can, here I go
You're everything I don't want
But you have what I need, you come back
You're everywhere I go
I feel you all around me and you ask, what did I do
What to keep me from you and I say
[Chorus]
You never tried to stop the walls from tumbling down
You never tried to pick me up when no one was around
If I could break through, if I could be strong
If I could let go, I could stop the echo
[Verse 3]
So many times I walked away, without leaving
Oh, but this time I'm going away believing, oh, oh
We should rewind and listen
To everything you've told me
So say goodbye to all your promises
While I promise you goodbye
[Chorus]
You never tried to stop the walls from tumbling down
You never tried to pick me up when no one was around
If I could break through, if I could be strong
If I could be right but I could be wrong
If I could break through, if I could be strong
If I could let go, I could stop the echo of you
