[Verse 1]

Love has to be earned 'cause nothing comes free

Am I not the one you expect me to be?

Show never tell, that it hurt to hear

That you found new love when it could have been me

(Could have been me)

[Verse 2]

I'm sick and tired, too weak to fight

And even if I'm right you always win

You built your walls, they're mountain high

Knocked at the gate but you won't let me in

[Pre-Chorus]

I tried to climb, to burn them down

But all in vain and now it's been too late

And all I ever wanted was to break

[Chorus]

Through your walls

They'rе built up high and blocking my way

Into your arms

Right by your side, I'm falling from grace

Open up, I'm standing outsidе

Knocking at the gates

Hand back my heart

'Cause you stole the love I saved for myself

[Verse 3]

Never enough, so hard to impress

How can't you see that I'm trying my best (my best)

Now open up! I'm not walking away

Why is it so hard when it should be easy?

[Pre-Chorus]

I try to climb to burn them down

But all in vain and now it's been too late

And all I ever wanted was a chance

(To break)

[Chorus]

Through your walls

They're built up high and blocking my way

Into your arms

Right by your side, I'm falling from grace

Open up, I'm standing outside

Knocking at the gates

Hand back my heart

'Cause you stole the love I saved for myself

[Bridge]

(I saved for myself)

(I saved for myself)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Through your walls

They're built up high and blocking my way

Into your arms

Right by your side, I'm falling from grace

Open up, I'm standing outside

Knocking at the gates

Hand back my heart

'Cause you stole the love I saved for myself
