[Verse 1]
Love has to be earned 'cause nothing comes free
Am I not the one you expect me to be?
Show never tell, that it hurt to hear
That you found new love when it could have been me
(Could have been me)

[Verse 2]
I'm sick and tired, too weak to fight
And even if I'm right you always win
You built your walls, they're mountain high
Knocked at the gate but you won't let me in

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to climb, to burn them down
But all in vain and now it's been too late
And all I ever wanted was to break

[Chorus]
Through your walls
They'rе built up high and blocking my way
Into your arms
Right by your side, I'm falling from grace
Open up, I'm standing outsidе
Knocking at the gates
Hand back my heart
'Cause you stole the love I saved for myself
[Verse 3]
Never enough, so hard to impress
How can't you see that I'm trying my best (my best)
Now open up! I'm not walking away
Why is it so hard when it should be easy?

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to climb to burn them down
But all in vain and now it's been too late
And all I ever wanted was a chance
(To break)

[Chorus]
Through your walls
They're built up high and blocking my way
Into your arms
Right by your side, I'm falling from grace
Open up, I'm standing outside
Knocking at the gates
Hand back my heart
'Cause you stole the love I saved for myself

[Bridge]
(I saved for myself)
(I saved for myself)
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Through your walls
They're built up high and blocking my way
Into your arms
Right by your side, I'm falling from grace
Open up, I'm standing outside
Knocking at the gates
Hand back my heart
'Cause you stole the love I saved for myself
