[Verse 1] You left a crack in the door I heard your words hit the floor Like glass on tile, like a warning sign But I still breathe through the line Hands on the sink, white knuckles tight I learned to bloom in a room at night If you come hard, I come back strong I’ve been the storm all along [Pre-Chorus] Tear me down, I stay Break me apart, I play Your coldest shot, your heavy stone I keep my pulse in overdrive alone [Chorus] Tear me down I won’t fall now Break me apart I keep this song on Tear me down Still hear my sound Last beat of my heart I keep this song on [Verse 2] I wore your silence like borrowed smoke Still found my voice in the things you broke A little blood on the edge of the day But I sing it clean anyway Came in low with a knife-edge grin You missed the light under my skin I’m not a flame you can hold too long I turn the hurt into something strong [Pre-Chorus] Tear me down, I stay Break me apart, I play Your coldest shot, your heavy stone I keep my pulse in overdrive alone [Chorus] Tear me down I won’t fall now Break me apart I keep this song on Tear me down Still hear my sound Last beat of my heart I keep this song on [Bridge] If I go quiet, watch me rise From the ash in my own brown eyes You can haunt my name, you can shake my frame I’ll still sing through the pain [Final Chorus] Tear me down I won’t fall now Break me apart I keep this song on Tear me down Still hear my sound Last beat of my heart I keep this song on Tear me down I won’t bow down Break me apart I keep this song on (on and on)
