When The Walls Come Down

Kim Carnes


When The Walls Come Down I know he hurt you
More than anybody could
I know he told you
More than anybody should
Some guys don't realize
The damage they do

Now I know you're thinkin'
I'm everbody else
How can I blame you
For looking out for yourself
You know how word
Gets around in this town

But when the walls come down
At the end of the hall
Through these paper walls
I hear the sound
Of your tears fallin' down
Baby I'll be around
When the walls come down

He must have caught you
Lonely in your life
He took your kisses
And left you empty inside
I heard it all
Through the still of the night

If I could only wear a perfect disguise
I'd be what you need in your life
But I know it's not now
But when the walls come down

But when the walls come down
At the end of the hall
Through these paper walls
I hear the sound
Of your tears fallin' down
Baby I'll be around
When the walls come down

When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When your healing is done
Let me be the one
Where love is found
I'll be around when the walls come down
