Tear It Down

TEAR IT DOWN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2017

MAKE NO MISTAKE

A BROKEN HEART CAN BRING YOU DOWN ALL THE WAY

BLACK DARKNESS BEFORE MY SWOLLEN EYES

STRUGGLE TO TAKE BACK CONTROL

IF I ONLY KNEW, SAW THIS COMING FROM YOU

MAYBE I WOULDN'T BE THIS FAR IN

I PUT MY TRUST OUT IN THE OPEN

FOR YOU TO SEE

YOU TOOK IT AND CAME TO STAND BY ME

STEP BY STEP THROUGH THIS LIFE 

IT WAS GOING GOOD OR SO I THOUGHT

YOU GO AHEAD AND CHANGE YOUR MIND

AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO CHANGE IT BACK

A RAINBOW OF COLORS FADES TO BLACK

WITH HEAVY HEART MY PLANE DISAPPEARS INTO THE SKY 

NO POINT IN LOOKING BACK 

I DIDN'T WRITE THE END

CAN'T EMBRACE THE MESSAGE YOU SEND

TEAR IT DOWN TO THE GROUND

I'LL MAKE THE CUT MYSELF

NO MORE TEARS AND WHY'S

NO MORE TIES

JUST ANOTHER ENDING, FOR A HEART ALREADY SCARRED

THINK IT WOULDN'T BE SO HARD

ALL I'VE GOT IS EXACTLY WHAT I SEE 

LOOKING BACK FROM THE MIRROR AT ME

I SHOULD OF NEVER PLAYED FOR KEEPS

KEPT MY HEART TO MYSELF

IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVEN'T LOST AT LOVE BEFORE 

WHY WOULD I GO BACK FOR MORE

MAYBE MY HOPES ARE TOO HIGH 

EACH TIME I SEE ANOTHER DREAM DIE

HOPES THE ONLY THING LEFT

WITHOUT HOPE WHAT'S TO CARRY ON

SOMETHING I'VE BEEN SAVING

THAT NO ONE CAN SHAKE LOOSE

ONLY THING THAT'S ALL MINE

ALL THE COLOR THAT WAS FADED

IS SLOWLY COMING BACK

BLACK DARKNESS GIVES WAY TO HOPES AND DREAMS

AND SUNSETS LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN

 TEAR IT DOWN RIGHT TO THE GROUND 

IT'S ALWAYS BETTER THE NEXT TIME

TEAR IT DOWN, IT'S ALWAYS BETTER

THE NEXT TIME AROUND
