you could've had it all

if these old walls could talk

i'd be a sad man

she'd left me long ago

if she knew the things i did back then

no

they ain't said a word

stood silent through it all

i'd be a lonely man

if these old walls could talk

this old house of ours

it's made of stone

but it's built on sand

and these four walls

they are my best friends

been keepin' all my past

locked deep inside

no one will ever know

all those things i did so long ago

i've been runnin'

tryin' to hide from yesterday

but there's just no need

i know my secret's safe

if these old walls could talk

i'd be a sad man

she'd left me long ago

if she knew the things i did back then

no

they ain't said a word

stood silent through it all

i'd be a lonely man

if these old walls could talk

they stood every storm

those long

cold winter nights

they kept us warm

holdin' back the rain

not even the winds of change

could ever blow 'em down

yeah

we're on solid ground

if these old walls could talk

id be a sad man

she'd left me long ago

if she knew the things i did back then

and

no

they ain't said a word

stood silent through it all

i'd be a lonely man

if these old walls could talk

they've stood the test of time

never let me down

i've put it all behind me

they remind me

i'm on shaky ground

they won't let me forget

if these old walls could talk

id be a sad man

she'd left me long ago

if she knew the things i did back then

no

they ain't said a word

stood silent through it all

i'd be a lonely man

if these old walls could talk

yeah

i'd be a lonely man

if these old walls could talk

i'd be a sad man

she'd left me long ago
