Mia Buckley - Walls

One more time, one more time
Change your mind, let me fly
Away from this mess, away from your mind
Go ahead now and change your mind
Hug me now, hate me tomorrow
Now parting is such sweet sorrow
But then you turn your back on me again
And we're back where we started from

Leave me alone, just let me go home
Stop tugging on the strings of my heart
I die a little more each time I fall apart

You pull my strings like I'm Pinocchio
But what you don't seem to know
Is that I'm real too
This way and that I get dizzy
From all the directions you're leading me to
I guess that's just how it goes
When we grow up a little
Some of our hearts become wood
But I can't break away, no you got me under the spell
That you cast on us all

We used to be friends, you know
Way back when, when the ground was snow
But over time the bricks and glass just kept building up
And now I'm pounding on a solid wall
Won't you try to get out of this mess?
Or am I really that worthless?
I've asked myself why a thousand times
But you just keep changing your mind

Leave me alone, just let me go home
Stop tugging on the strings of my heart
I die a little more each time I fall apart

You pull my strings like I'm Pinocchio
But what you don't seem to know
Is that I'm real too
This way and that I get dizzy
From all the directions you're leading me to
I guess that's just how it goes
When we grow up a little
Some of our hearts become wood
But I can't break away, no you got me under the spell
That you cast on us all

Make up your mind before I run out of time
Do I get one more smile
Or should I swallow my pride?
What is it that I've done to deserve this torture?
And every time that you change your mind
I am pulled in another direction of why
You would possibly do this to someone like me
You would possibly do this to someone like me

You pull my strings like I'm Pinocchio
But what you don't seem to know
Is that I'm real too
This way and that I get dizzy
From all the directions you're leading me to
I guess that's just how it goes
When we grow up a little
Some of our hearts become wood
But I can't break away, no you got me under the spell
That you cast on us all

I guess that's just how it goes
When we build up our walls
Some people just can't hold on
To how it was

Yeah!
You pull my strings like I'm Pinocchio
But what you don't seem to know
Is that I'm real too
This way and that I get dizzy
From all the directions you're leading me to
I guess that's just how it goes
When we grow up a little
Some of our hearts become wood
But I can't break away, no you got me under the spell
That you cast on us all
