[Intro (instrumental)]

[Verse 1]

I'm dying to catch my breath

Oh, why don't I ever learn?

I've lost all my trust

Though I've surely tried to turn it around

[Pre-Chorus]

Can you still see the heart of me?

All my agony fades away

When you hold me in your embrace

[Chorus 1]

Don't tear me down for all I need

Make my heart a better place

Give me something I can believe

Don't tear me down

You've opened the door now, don't let it close

[Post-Chorus (instrumental)]

[Verse 2]

I'm here on the edge again

I wish I could let it go

I know that I'm only one step away

From turning it around

[Pre-Chorus]

Can you still see the heart of me?

All my agony fades away

When you hold me in your embrace

[Chorus 2]

Don't tear me down for all I need

Make my heart a better place

Give me something I can believe

Don't tear it down, what's left of me

Make my heart a better place

[Bridge]

I tried many times but nothing was real

Make it fade away, don't break me down

I want to believe that this is for real

Save me from my fear

Don't tear me down

[Post-Bridge]

Don't tear me down for all I need

Make my heart a better place

[Solo (instrumental)]

[Chorus 2]

Don't tear me down for all I need

Make my heart a better place

Give me something I can believe

Don't tear it down, what's left of me

Make my heart a better place

[Outro]

Make my heart a better place
