Tearing Me Down Lyrics

I was dreaming that I was someone
I was taller, smarter, prettier
I was hoping you could help me
But you consume me, you make me dirtier

Now you'll make all seem better
If I can just give up my sorrow
Glad to hear it's so damn easy
All the time we've wasted using me, tearing me down

Tearing me down
Tearing me down
Tearing me down

I was dreaming I was such a young thing
I held magic in my fingers
Weren't you saying (Aw, weren't you saying)
How I was special (Aw, you're so special)
and then you bruised my beyond all reason

Now you'll make all seem better
If I can just give up my sorrow
Glad to hear it's so damn easy
All the time we've wasted using me, tearing me down

Tearing me down
Tearing me down
Tearing me down

I was hoping
that you could hold me
that you could help me
that you could know me
but you consume me
but you confuse me
you make me dirtier

Now you'll make all seem better
If I can just give up my sorrow
Glad to hear it's so damn easy
All the time we've wasted using me, tearing me down

Tearing me down
Tearing me down
Tearing me down

Tearing me down
Tearing me 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.
