[Verse 1 – male] You say you want the truth tonight But you don’t wanna hear me right You twist the words I try to say Then throw them back and walk away [Verse 2 – male] We go in circles every time Your reasons change, but sound like mine We’re building something just to fall Like we don’t learn at all [Pre-Chorus – tight, building] Every line, every fight We’re getting closer to goodbye [Chorus – driving, sharp] Why do we tear it down again Every time it starts to mend We get so close, then let it end Like we don’t know how to pretend Every word cuts deeper then Still we come back just to bend Tell me how this ever ends If we just tear it down again [Verse 3 – male] You slam the door, I stay and wait Like I’ve got time to negotiate But silence hits me like a stone And suddenly I’m on my own [Pre-Chorus – more intensity] Every night, same old line We’re running out of borrowed time [Chorus – bigger, urgent] Why do we tear it down again Every time it starts to mend We get so close, then let it end Like we don’t know how to pretend Every word cuts deeper then Still we come back just to bend Tell me how this ever ends If we just tear it down again [Bridge – stripped, tense] Maybe we don’t wanna save it Maybe we just recreate it All the damage, all the pain Just to feel it all again [Break – rhythmic, almost spoken] Say it once, say it twice We don’t listen, we don’t try [Final Chorus – explosive] Why do we tear it down again Every time it starts to mend We get so close, then let it end Like we don’t know how to pretend Every word cuts deeper then Still we come back just to bend Tell me how this ever ends If we just tear it down again [Outro – driving, fading] Tear it down… Again and again… Again…
