[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We build it up and we break it
We build it up and we break it
Down
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We build it up and we break it
Down, down

[Verse 1]
None of my words seem to come out right
Will it cut you down and leave you bleeding
Ring a note that she left like a trumpet that
Was blown by your demon

[Pre-Chorus]
Well let me grab my keys and take you for a ride
I'll get you anything that your little heart desires, woo!

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We build it up and we break it down, oh
We light a flame just to watch it go out
Burn everything you love to the ground
If you don't really want it
Take it all down, down
Yeah, take it all
Down

[Verse 2]
None of my words ever learned how to fly
From the pages you were reading
You said your feet just had to go tap to the new tempo
Of some bright new bell that was ringing

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, let me grab my keys and take you for a ride
I'll get you anything that your little heart desires
We won't call this love, no, we'll call it killin' time
'Cause we both know that those three little words were lies

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We build it up and we break it down, oh
We light a flame just to watch it go out
Burn everything you love to the ground
If you don't really want it
Then take it all
Yeah, take it all

[Bridge]
We wasted too much time
And now we see that nothing is fulfilling
If your soul ain't clean
Let me into your room
I'll sit beside your bed
Speak peace to your heart and health to your head
Just hear my response is that I'm missing out
Everything good is always somewhere else
And I'm just looking for a guide
Take me from the darkness into the light
From the darkness into the light

[Chorus]
We build it up and we break it down, oh
We light a flame just to watch it go out
Burn everything you love to the ground
If you don't really want it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We build it up and we break it down, oh
We light a flame just to watch it go out
Burn everything you love to the ground
If you don't really want it
Take it all
