[Verse 1]

No, don't tear it down

Close our hopes are found

But their minds break through again

To destroy for some is easy

[Verse 2]

Lose it to love it

Leave it to gain it

Chances are I'll be

So far gone before you

Your skin becomes a wall

Shelter from ones lost

But the heart breaks through again

To hold on for some is easy

[Chorus]

Hey, don't tear it down

Hey, don't tear it down

Hey, cold destroyer I can't go along

Hey, cold destroyer I can't go along

Alone

[Bridge]

Hate won't destroy me

Won't tear it down

I couldn't save it

It's such a waste

You couldn't wait

I couldn't say

[Verse 3]

No, don't tear it down

Here our young are found

The mind breaks in again

To return for some is easy

[Chorus]

Hey, don't tear it down

Hey, don't tear it down

Hey, cold destroyer we can't go along

Hey, cold destroyer I can't go along

Alone
