"Build It Up" lyrics

"Build It Up"

How can we talk
About our differences
When we don't talk
Don't talk at all?
It seems so critical
To speak less critically
I see no truth as mythical
No vast unbridgeable

Give me strength to overcome
Give me strength I'm not gonna run
Build it up
Build it up

You gotta
You gotta give some
Take some
Fix it up
You gotta break some
You gotta open up
You gotta share
Build it up if nothing's there

How can we talk
About our differences
When we don't talk
Don't talk at all?
Listen to the echo
Of the anger of our silences
Or to the sound
Of each other's heart

Give me strength to overcome
Give me strength I'm not gonna run
Build it up
Build it up

You gotta
You gotta give some
Take some
Fix it up
You gotta break some
You gotta open up
You gotta share
Build it up if nothing's there
You gotta give some
Shake some
Pull it all down
But hate none
You gotta open up
You gotta care
Build it up if nothing's there

I can build it up
If you want to build it up
We can build it up if
You want to build it up with me
Come on and build it up
Come on and build it up with me

You gotta give some
Take some
Give some, take some
Fix it up and then break some
Gotta open up, you gotta share
Build it up if nothing's there

Come on, bring some, shake some
Bring some, shake some
Pull it all down but hate none
You gotta open up, you gotta care
Build it up if nothing's there

You gotta give some
Take some
Give some, take some
Fix it up, you gotta break some
You gotta open up, you gotta share
Build it up if nothing's there

Come on, bring some
Bring some, shake some
Pull it all down but hate none
You gotta open up, you gotta care
Build it up if nothing's there
