Sending up smoke for you in the dark
Praying you would see the signal
But by now, we've gone too far

Yeah I was lying, lying to myself
'Cause I'm the only one who believes
Your words could bring a dozen buildings down
God knows they had me down on my two knees

And my tears won't fall for you like I did
And my hands are cut and bruised
I didn't build this wall for two
You know I built this wall for you

I've been making messes all night long
Not a single soul can steer me wrong
Taking every road I stumbled through
'Cause 'no' is what I saved for you

I should've known better
I could've saved us some time
I should've known better
I should've saved us some time
Some time

And my tears won't fall for you like I did
And my hands are cut and bruised
I didn't build this wall for two
You know I built this wall for you
I didn't build this wall for two
