The Walls They Came Down Lyrics

Cigarette for breakfast
Spent all my money last night at the bar
Made my dash, my last fighting chance
Not even money for gas
To find a way to hide these scars
Remind me that I tried too hard
Even had to push my car

I took a stance, took a risk at first
And made it only so far
Before we watched the walls come down
Around the art, around the art

I could have put up a better fight
You could have gone and seen the light
I should have known when I first saw you
We could have tried to hold on tight
Could have tried with all our might
I should have known when I first saw you

I took a stance, took a risk at first
And made it only so far
Before we watched the walls come down
Around the art, around the art

I could have put up a better fight
You could have gone and seen the light
I should have known when I first saw you
We could have tried to hold on tight
Could have tried with all our might
I should have known when I first saw you

I should have known, I should have known
I should have known when I first saw you (2x)

Cigarette for breakfast
Since nothing else was there

Forever Means No End

Cigarette for breakfast
Spent all my money last night at the bar
Made my dash, my last fighting chance
Not even money for gas
To find a way to hide these scars
Remind me that I tried too hard
Even had to push my car

I took a stance, took a risk at first
And made it only so far
Before we watched the walls come down
Around the art, around the art

I could have put up a better fight
You could have gone and seen the light
I should have known when I first saw you 
We could have tried to hold on tight 
Could have tried with all our might 
I should have known when I first saw you

I took a stance, took a risk at first
And made it only so far
Before we watched the walls come down
Around the art, around the art

I could have put up a better fight
You could have gone and seen the light
I should have known when I first saw you 
We could have tried to hold on tight 
Could have tried with all our might 
I should have known when I first saw you

I should have known, I should have known 
I should have known when I first saw you (2x)

Cigarette for breakfast 
Since nothing else was there

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

*I took a stance, took a risk at BEST

Before we watched the walls come down around the YARD, around the YARD

*I could have put up a better fight You could have LISTENED and seen the light
