I'm dying to catch my breath 
Oh why don't I ever learn 
I've lost all my [bad word]  
Though I've surely tried to turn it around 
Can you still see the heart of me? 
All my agony fades away 
When you hold me in your embrace 

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 

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 
Can you still see the heart of me? 
All my agony fades away 
When you hold me in your embrace 

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 

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 

Don't tear me down for all I need 
Make my heart a better place 

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
Make my heart a better place
