If These Walls Could Speak

Yeah...

Four walls.

One door.

A thousand things nobody knows.

(they know...)

Door slams, voices rise,

Same old room, same old lies.

You say my name, I lose my head,

Say things I wish I never said.

Then comes the silence, cold and still,

You know I never mean to—

(Do I?)

Every promise, every excuse,

Every time I twist the truth.

They've heard me say, “It wasn't me,”

Heard you crying quietly.

Heard the footsteps down the hall,

Heard the sound of something fall.

Nobody sees behind this door,

Nobody knows what happens on this floor.

You can hide it when the morning comes,

But the walls don't forget what I've done.

If these walls could speak,

They'd scream my name!

Tell the world exactly who's to blame.

Every lie, every fight,

Every secret in the dead of night.

They've seen the tears,

They've heard you cry,

Heard every promise I denied.

Four walls, one truth,

And they know what I do.

(They know... they know...)

Phone lights up, another lie,

You ask me where I've been tonight.

I tell you nothing, turn it round,

Make you feel like you're the one who's wrong.

Another name I shouldn't know,

Another secret buried below.

Then you find out, we explode,

And somehow I'm still holding control.

I've watched you cover every mark,

Turn the lights off, hide the dark.

Walk outside like nothing's wrong,

While the walls keep singing along.

Nobody hears what happens here,

Nobody sees what you hide through fear.

You can smile when you leave this room,

But the walls remember every wound.

If these walls could speak,

They'd scream my name!

Tell the world exactly who's to blame.

Every lie, every fight,

Every secret in the dead of night.

They've seen the tears,

They've heard you cry,

Heard every promise I denied.

Four walls, one truth,

And they know what I do.

(They know... they know...)

You can lie to your family,

Lie to your friends,

Tell them we're happy,

Tell them it ends.

You can cover the evidence,

Clean up the room,

But you can't erase

What these walls have seen.

If these walls could speak,

They'd scream my name!

Every secret burning through the frame.

Every fight, every lie,

Every time I watched you break inside.

They've seen it all,

They know the truth,

They've watched me become someone you fear.

Four walls, one door,

And they can't protect me anymore.

(Say it...)

They know.

They know.

They know everything.

Go ahead...

Tell them I'm the man you think I am.

(They know better.)
