Well,  I don't know  how to say this right
 And the words  got me chokin'
 I keep hittin'  this wall, It's  never gonna fall
 And we're  still broken
 This mountain  we've been trying to climb
 It's never-ending
Just  can't do nothin', Gotta  do something
 'Cause if  we don't open up our eyes
 We're just  pretending
 Well, there's a time  for givin' up
 Didn't want  to have to say it
 All we doin'  is building walls
 And now there's too  many barriers
 Here we are  lying here
 It's our last  final goodnight
 Just because  it feels so good
 No use pretending  we're alright
 Too many locks,  too many crimes
 Too many tears,  too many lies
 Too many barriers
 Ohhh
 Just too many barriers
Now  we've been draggin'  this whole thing out
 But I can't wait  any longer
 Our love's burning  down, Creepin'  in the doubt
 We're not getting  any stronger
 I hear you say  that we're doin' OK
 But, baby, I  don't think so
Just  can't do nothin', gotta  do something
 'Cause if I don't  get into my car
 I won't  go very far.
 Repeat pre-chorus
 Repeat chorus
Just  too many barriers
 That we keep  running into
 Been  tryin', but we just  can't break through
I  know I'm gonna keep wishing  I was with you
But  we just gotta stop
 Here we are  lying here
 It's our last  final goodnight
 Just because  it feels so good
 No use pretending  we're alright
 Too many locks,  too many crimes
 Too many tears,  too many lies
 Too many barriers
And  you hurry to get somewhere
 And the road's  tryin' to block ya, block  ya
And  you feel like you're nowhere
 'Cause the world's  tryin' to stop ya, stop  ya
 Too many barriers
