I'm dying to catch my breath
 Oh why don't I ever learn?
 I've lost all my trust,
 though I've surely tried to turn it around
 
 Can you still see the heart of me?
 All my agony fades away
 when you hold me in your embrace
 
 Don't tear me down for all I need
 Make my heart a better place
 Give me something I can believe
 Don't tear me down
 You've opened the door now, don't let it close
 
 I'm here on the edge again
 I wish I could let it go
 I know that I'm only one step away
 from turning it around
 
 Can you still see the heart of me?
 All my agony fades away
 when you hold me in your embrace
 
 Don't tear me down for all I need
 Make my heart a better place
 Give me something I can believe
 
 Don't tear it down, what's left of me
 Make my heart a better place
 
 I tried many times but nothing was real
 Make it fade away, don't break me down
 I want to believe that this is for real
 Save me from my fear
 Don't tear me down
 
 Don't tear me down for all I need
 Make my heart a better place
 Don't tear me down for all I need
 Make my heart a better place
 
 Give me something I can believe
 Don't tear it down, what's left of me
 Make my heart a better place
 Make my heart a better place
