Tear Me Down

Why do you always make me feel small? 

Comparing me to people who have it all

Why am I always second-best? 

Putting my patience to the test 

Why am I so below par 

Unlike the idol you are 

Find myself thinking

How you can put me down without blinking 

 

So, I’ve decided I don’t care anymore 

I’ve decided just to leave it 

Do your best, no, do your worst 

But I guarantee I won’t burst 

 

Tear me down 

To the ground

Use stone and sticks 

Maybe add some bricks

Burn my soul in a fire

Not knowing it’ll take me higher 

Fire and ice

Just won’t suffice 

Rising above the flames 

I’m over your petty mind games 

 

Why am I always inferior to you? 

Underestimating my true value 

I’m next to nothing, you say 

But I’ll take that over being you anyway 

Some nights I feel like crying 

Sometimes more like dying 

Don’t feel good enough to live 

Oh, to be better what I would give 

 

But now I’ve decided 

Won’t let myself be blighted

Do your best, no, do your worst 

But I guarantee I won’t burst 

 

Tear me down 

To the ground

Use stone and sticks 

Maybe add some bricks

Burn my soul in a fire

Not knowing it’ll take me higher 

Fire and ice

Just won’t suffice 

Rising above the flames 

I’m over your petty mind games
