High (School) Walls
She was there through the hard times
She picked up all of the signs
I built up a wall
And avoided her calls
Thought I was too far gone
But she didn't give up on me
She let me sit there in peace
'Til I wanted to talk
Or we went for a walk
She'd wait 'til I was ready
I stared out the glass
'Til my mind had cleared
I sat in the silence and wiped away the tears
I built up a high wall
And I hid behind it
Cause I felt like a bother but that didn't stop her
I hid in the classroom
Away from my peers
I turned up the music
'Til I couldn't hear
I built up a high wall
And I hid behind
Cause I didn't know what to do
And all I can say is
Thank you.
Final year
We were sent home
No proper goodbye
All was postponed
I wasn't prepared
No one else seemed to care
I'd never felt so alone
I stared out the glass
'Til my mind had cleared
I sat in the silence and wiped away the tears
I built up a high wall
And I hid behind it
Cause I felt like a bother but that didn't stop her
I hid in the classroom
Away from my peers
I turned up the music
'Til I couldn't hear
I built up a high wall
And I hid behind
Cause I didn't know what to do
And all I can say is
Thank you.
She helped me through that time
I wouldn't have been alright
Without her by my side
I don't think I'd survive
She helped me through that time
I wouldn't have been alright
Without her by my side
I don't think I'd survive
She helped me through that time
I wouldn't have been alright
Without her by my side
I don't think I'd survive
I stared out the glass
'Til my mind had cleared
I sat in the silence and wiped away the tears
I built up a high wall
And I hid behind it
Cause I felt like a bother but that didn't stop her
I hid in the classroom
Away from my peers
I turned up the music
'Til I couldn't hear
I built up a high wall
And I hid behind
Cause I didn't know what to do
And all I can say is
