[Verse 1]
I'm not ashamed to say that I've loved you well
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I'm just a name, that's all
Scratched upon your wall
You've used it well, but what the hell
That's what walls are for

[Verse 2]
I'm not ashamed to listen to the fast fallin' rain
In the mornin' upon my window
I'm not afraid to cry
And I'm not afraid to try
To be your friend once again
That's what's friends are for

[Bridge]
Friends are for sortin' out the feelings that we hide
Walls are for shoutin' out the love we feel inside

[Verse 3]
I'm not ashamed, no, to talk it over once again
To rearrange my vocabulary
But I can't seem to find
Any words to change your mind
Because I left them all behind
And that's what words are for
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Words are for explainin' the mistakes we might have made
Names are for callin' when there's nothin' left to say

[Verse 4]
I'm not ashamed, no, to say I've loved you well
I'm not ashamed, yet I know
I'm just a name, that's all
Scratched upon your wall
You've used it well, but what the hell
That's what walls are for
