I'm building walls, I build 'em tall

Why can't it stay like it was before? (Mm-mm-mm-mm)
Lovers and friends, yeah
but nothing more (Mm-mm-mm-mm)
You know I built a commitment wall
And it's not coming down, down, down, down (Down)
Emotionally unavailable (Mm-mm-mm-mm)
I know that I can be difficult (Mm-mm-mm-mm)
And, yeah, my love isn't typical
Oh, I'ma let you down, down
Down, down (Down)

So if I must confess, I can't give you my best
I tried and failed, oh, can't you see?

I don't know how to let you love me
You wanna pull when I push you away
Wish I could learn to let you love me
Oh, am I always gonna be this way?
I'm building walls, I build 'em tall
But could you be the one to make me change?
I don't know how to let you love me
Oh, am I always gonna be this way?

Oh, I could sell you a fantasy (Mm-mm-mm-mm)
Sell it so good that we both bеlieve (Mm-mm-mm-mm)
But that won't make it rеality
Oh, I'll still let you down, down
Down, down

So if I must confess, I can't give you my best
I tried and failed, oh, can't you see? (Can't you see?)

I don't know how to let you love me
You wanna pull when I push you away
Wish I could learn to let you love me
Oh, am I always gonna be this way?
I'm building walls, I build 'em tall
But could you be the one to make me change?
I don't know how to let you love me
Oh, am I always gonna be this way?

I know I'm broke
And you just wanna try and fix me
But you know I choke
Whenever you get too close, baby
I'm building these walls

I don't know how to let you love me
You wanna pull when I push you away
Wish I could learn to let you love me
Oh, am I always gonna be this way?
I'm building walls, I build 'em tall
But could you be the one to make me change?
I don't know how to let you love me
Oh, am I always gonna be this way?
