There's something missing
Inside of me
This is the way that
It's always been
Don't try to tempt me
Don't talk me down
For all the reasons
You've never found

And I wanna tear it down

Some of the pages
I've torn apart
Some of the lovers
That broke my heart
I've got the message
It's loud and clear
Yours is the voice that
I always hear

And I wanna tear it down

I may be jealous
You may be right
There's only darkness
Inside this light
Thanks for forgiving
Thanks for the calm
I know your love will
Go on and on

And I wanna tear it down

All of the memories
I left behind
Somehow they always
Come back and find
I want to love them
To hold them tight
I know the time
Is never right

And I wanna tear it down
