[Pre-Chorus] It’s all quiet now. It’s all quiet now. [Chorus] You keep tearing me down, down, down, am I better off alone somehow? Still I pull me down, down, down, don’t even wanna turn it around. [Verse 1] Kitchen light flickers, 3 a.m., an hour since you left again. Said too much, like I always do — not proud of the side I showed to you. [Pre-Chorus] You said, “what if I never change?” I said, “what if I shouldn’t have to?” [Chorus] You keep tearing me down, down, down, am I better off alone somehow? Still I pull me down, down, down, don’t even wanna turn it around. [Bridge – memory fade, sax echo softly under vocal] Piccadilly glow on your face, we missed the bus, just lost our place. A saxophone played through the underground, we danced like fools… just for a while. [Chorus – quieter, broken voice] You keep tearing me down, down, down, am I better off alone somehow? Still I pull me down, down, down, don’t even wanna turn it around. [Outro] Still pulling me down, down, down, down. (whispered) It’s all quiet now.
