Tear the World Down Lyrics

I've fought another day
Lose another chance to break away
From all I cannot bear
I suffer through the shame
Wishing hope would just abandon me
Til this is over

My loveless life
I'm lost in you tonight
Waiting for you to turn around
Only to tear the whole world down

Time and time again
Take it all and take the fall for you
Fear is all I hold
Bound and beaten down
All the pain I can't escape today
Is always with me

My loveless life
I'm lost in you tonight
Waiting for you to turn around
Only to tear the whole world down

My darkest night
Your arms that hold me tight
Waiting for you to turn around
Only to tear the whole world down

All my love is lost
All my hope is gone
All my love is lost
All my hope is gone

My loveless life
I'm lost in you tonight
Waiting for you to turn around
Only to tear the whole world down

My darkest night
Your arms that hold me tight
Waiting for you to turn around
Only to tear the whole world down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about someone who never believed in love or never was in love before, and so they feel in love towards someone for the first time but only for the person to show their 'true colours' and ruins their life ( maybe by abuse )

I think this song is about someone who was lost in their own problems, until they finally found something/someone good in their life. So in order to avoid their own problems, they focus and throw themselves straight into that thing or person to get rid of that pain. But then the person/thing turns away, because of knowledge of being used and feeling it was selfish. I don't know if that made sense, but it did to me.
