Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The cycle repeated

As explosions broke in the sky

All that I needed

Was the one thing I couldn't find

[PreChorus]

And you were there at the turn

Waiting to let me know

[Chorus]

We're building it up to break it back down

We're building it up to burn it down

We can't wait to burn it to the ground

[Verse 2]

The colors conflicted

As the flames climbed into the clouds

I wanted to fix this

But couldn't stop from tearing it down

[PreChorus]

And you were there at the turn

Caught in the burning glow

And I was there at the turn

Waiting to let you know

[Chorus]

We're building it up to break it back down

We're building it up to burn it down

We can't wait to burn it to the ground

[Verse 3]

You told me yes, you held me high

And I believed when you told that lie

I played soldier, you played king

Struck me down when I kissed that ring

You lost that right to hold that crown

I built you up but you let me down

So when you fall, I'll take my turn

And fan the flames as your blazes burn

[PreChorus]

And you were there at the turn

Waiting to let me know

[Chorus]

We're building it up to break it back down

We're building it up to burn it down

We can't wait to burn it to the ground

[Outro]

When you fall, I'll take my turn

And fan the flames as your blazes burn

We can't wait to burn it to the ground

When you fall, I'll take my turn

And fan the flames as your blazes burn

We can't wait to burn it to the ground
