Tear It Down - Elkie Brooks

Tear it down

Tear down and build it up (build it up, build it up)

I won’t take this lying down

I won’t buy this misery

I won’t take these chains on my soul

I will be free

This ghost of love is haunting me

To taste the blood of victory

But in the end I’m gonna win

I can see right through the walls

Of this prison that I’m in

I’m gonna tear it down (tear it down)

And build among the ruins of my heart

I’m gonna tear it down (and build it up)

And build it up solid from the start

Tear down and build it up (build it up, build it up)

Can’t take this heat no more

Can’t live this slavery

I won’t beg for mercy of love

For my liberty

I’ll find and fight to reach the light

No ghost of love haunts me tonight

And in the end I’m gonna win

'Cause I’m breaking through the walls

Of this prison that I’m in

I’m gonna tear it down (tear it down)

And build among the ruins of my heart

I’m gonna tear it down (and build it up)

And build it up solid from the start

Tear down and build it up (build it up, build it up)

This past of love is haunting me

Tear it down

Tear it down

I’m gonna tear it down (tear it down)

And build among the ruins of my heart

I’m gonna tear it down (and build it up)

Build it up solid from the start

I’m gonna tear it down (tear it down)

And build among the ruins of my heart

I’m gonna tear it down (and build it up)

Build it up solid from the start

Tear it, tear, tear it, tear it down

(Tear it down)

Build among the ruins of my heart

Oh, tear it down (and build it up)

Build it up solid from the start

Tear it down
