"Don't Tear Me Down" lyrics

Don't tear me down!
Don't tear me down!
Don't tear me down!
Don't tear me down!
Don't tear me down!

You've been set loose
Discovering what's going on inside
No way you can lose
On second thought it's my choice to choose
Actions reactions
Demonstrating therein lies the truth
I feel I'm prevailing
This has nothing to do with you

Banging my head against the wall
You think you know me? Not at all
On second thought just go away
Just save it
Sit back and behave

You see it everyday
Someday's much more what more can I say
This way of life
Will test you with every turn of the knife
You bleed it out
Or tourniquet
Apply pressure and shout
I'm my own person
I'm on a rampage no doubt

I see you pressing every day
Watching my every move like prey
So what's your angle
Oh I see
Yeah what's your vision
What's it with me?

Don't tear me down
Out of my way and pay attention to your own life
Don't tear me down
Just for the record you've been cast away and overthrown
That's right
Don't tear me down

I'm on a high, I'm on a roll
I feel it deep in my soul
I'm on a quest, feeling my best
Digging right out of this hole
I settle down, I take a rest
Putting myself first for a change
Rebuilding all that's been torn away

I'm on a roll what's your excuse?
Yeah what's it to you?
I'm gonna make it count
If it's the last thing I do

Don't tear me down
Out of my way and pay attention to your own life
Don't tear me down
Just for the record you've been cast away and overthrown
Don't tear me down
Out of my way and pay attention to your own life
Don't tear me down
Just for the record you've been cast away and overthrown
That's right
Don't tear me down
