[Verse 1]

I never meant to end up like this

Asunder from the world, and all I know

Are crickets on my window-sill

The only only ones I'll tell my secrets to

I'll tell 'em 'bout the boys I like

And how I've never felt more alone

Show 'em all the empty bottles

That have made home under my bed

[Chorus]

So I'll build up the walls to keep them out

Nobody will ever break them down

I'm afraid of commitment, and that's the truth

Been terrified of love since you-know-who

So I'll keep them out

Keep them out

Keep them out

Keep them out

[Verse 2]

Close my eyes and wish I wasn't here

Or alive at all at this point

I'm afraid that nothing matters

And my life is meaningless

I wish somebody would love me

I tell them as I kiss this cigarette

Nicotine is consuming my life

I wish had the courage to just quit

[Chorus]

So I'll build up the walls to keep them out

Nobody will ever break them down

I'm afraid of commitment, and that's the truth

Been terrified of love since you-know-who

So I'll keep them out

Keep them out

Keep them out

Keep them out
