(Verse 1) I lay in my bed and I turn out the light But the noise starts again in the middle of the night I hear the front door, then the sound of the glass I sit in the dark and I hope it will pass You live right next door, just a room away But I hear every mean, hurtful word that they say (Chorus) These walls are just paper thin They let all the shouting and crying come in I hear how you break and I hear how you ache I don't know how much more either one of us can take It breaks my own heart, I don't know what to do Through these paper thin walls, I am hurting for you (Verse 2) They tell you you're nothing, they tell you you're bad It is the worst kind of love anyone ever had You say you are sorry, though you did no wrong The screaming just goes on a little too long I look at my wall and I want to break through To stop all the awful things happening to you (Chorus) These walls are just paper thin They let all the shouting and crying come in I hear how you break and I hear how you ache I don't know how much more either one of us can take It breaks my own heart, I don't know what to do Through these paper thin walls, I am hurting for you (Bridge) Love is supposed to be safe, kind, and sweet Not a sad, scary room at the end of the street You hide in the dark and you try to get by While the one who should love you is making you cry (Chorus) These walls are just paper thin They let all the shouting and crying come in I hear how you break and I hear how you ache From the pain that a lover is not supposed to make It breaks my own heart, I don't know what to do Through these paper thin walls, I am hurting for you (Outro) Paper thin, paper thin I wish I could help you to finally begin To walk out that door and find something true Through these paper thin walls, I am waiting for you.
