Walls

(album: Susanne Sundfør - 2007)

There have been so many people
Walking through my door
They don't seem to wanna come back any more, well
I never ask them to, I let them all go
I guess I'm not the easiest one to talk to when it's cold
But I guess I'm alright, I guess I'm fine
I think sunshine'll treat me kind
And I'm feeling kind of locked up in this house of mine

'Cause these walls are killing me, killing me when I'm down
I am not a warrior but I can stay calm
And these walls are breaking me, breaking me down
But I'm living in, I'm living in
And that's how it's done
Ohh yes, that's how it's done

My house is full of flowers and my room has a bed
In my garden there are roses so colourful and red, but
People used to come here and pick a flower or two
Now nobody's coming, no, not even you
But I guess I'm all right, I guess I'm fine
I think sunshine would treat me kind
And now I'm feeling kind of locked up in this house of mine

'Cause these walls are killing me, killing me when I'm down
I am not a warrior but I can stay calm
And these walls are breaking me, breaking me down
But I'm living in, I'm living in
And that's how it's done
Ohh yes, that's how it's done

So, if you should ever come back
Don't knock on my door
Just walk right in like you did before, and
Stay forever, don't think about going home
'Cause this is were you all belong
And we're gonna be all right, we're gonna be so fine
The sunshine will treat us kind
But now I'm feeling so locked up in this house of mine

'Cause these walls are killing me, killing me when I'm down
I am not a warrior but I can stay calm
And these walls are breaking me, breaking me down
But I'm living in, I am living in
And that's how it's done
Ohh yes, that's how it's done
