I built a wall around myself
Because I thought that I could be someone else
But if you isolate yourself, your friends forget you
Even all the ones who said that they
Would never let you down
Never let you down

When I've lived my life upon this earth
Will I find somebody who appreciates my worth?
Because at the moment, I have hit an all time low
And all my so-called-friends are people I don't know
My engine's running, but I've nowhere left to go
So I'll just go
I'll just go
I'll just go
To sleep

So at last I get some rest
Everything seems to move so fast these days
And a drink with a real friend
And maybe a glimpse of a new perspective

I always try to play it down
But now it's time
To Face the fact
That I've just
Been a fool

I built a house on solid ground
And I asked my friends to come on round
They stained the carpet and some couple broke my bed
I drank too much and they all called me Sleepyhead
But it didn't matter
Because the ones who counted said
"I'll always be around"
