Tear Down the Walls

(Spoken) All I could do is go away without looking back The wind blows to and fro and I'm back on track You and I smile to hide the pain Don't be stuck in the past - catch the future's train Verse 1: There's no accidents in what we do Break away from the tension that surrounds you Forcing a smile won't help will the pain away Our weaknesses will hunt us down day after day Come here and cry on my shoulders Throw away the tragic past folders Bite the bullet Bite the bullet See right through my regret...I'm so upset I'm pessimistic's pet You're missing out in the opportunities that promise to make your life worth living for You're dissing me out with your imprudent vanities and you slammed the front door There you go... Go... Pre-chorus: Go do what your heart desires Forget about the haters and the liars You were lost in your burnt paradise Tears cloud your eyes, but you wear the mask of happy lies Chorus: Tear down the walls Sorry for missing your calls Go away from the dark Before it leaves another scar...that hideous mark What a shame that you're faith has faded away Go do your own thing and backstab me why don't you...left on the dirty ground Don't worry about me - soon, you'll pay the price in a most harmful way Go slap me in the face with your disgraceful mouth...what comes around comes back around Verse 2: I treasure you and all the good you do Keep dreaming and believing in yourself Take action, so you can fulfill your satisfaction and shine anew You're apart of the crew of working on the self Your actions are crystal clear to me My company is your pet peeve...your rebellious, ambitious spirit is so deceiving Your interactions reveal that you're complicated as can be You dishearten me to the point of grieving, but ironically, it's relieving Going with the flow of your friends Going with the flow Go...just go... Pre-chorus: Go do what your heart desires Forget about the haters and the liars You were lost in your burnt paradise Tears cloud your eyes, but you wear the mask of happy lies Chorus: Tear down the walls Sorry for missing your calls Go away from the dark Before it leaves another scar...that hideous mark What a shame that you're faith has faded away Go do your own thing and backstab me why don't you...left on the dirty ground Don't worry about me - soon, you'll pay the price in a most harmful way Go slap me in the face with your disgraceful mouth...what comes around comes back around Verse 3: You were once placed on a far left shelf You were the lonely Christmas elf You are special in my heart if I do say so myself Joy and pain shared with you was hard to deal with...but I will always remember you I wish you luck in all you do as you walk that road alone Oh boy, down comes the rain and I see you scared out of your wits...but I will keep you in my memory so true I wish you were in my arms forevermore, but you're on your own Problems like ours don't last forever Sooner or later, you'll find out that I wanted to protect you from the rainstorm Did you know that I wanted to be your shelter to keep you safe and warm? Where will you go? Go?... Pre-chorus: Go do what your heart desires Forget about the haters and the liars You were lost in your burnt paradise Tears cloud your eyes, but you wear the mask of happy lies Chorus: Tear down the walls Sorry for missing your calls Go away from the dark Before it leaves another scar...that hideous mark What a shame that you're faith has faded away Go do your own thing and backstab me why don't you...left on the dirty ground Don't worry about me - soon, you'll pay the price in a most harmful way Go slap me in the face with your disgraceful mouth...what comes around comes back around

J.W. I sincerely hope you're going to use these wonderful lyrics in song. I'm so glad you've chosen to share them with us here. While there is nothing wrong with the title you've chosen, and it fits your lyrics, may I suggest an alternative title? Tear Down The Walls...giving you a 7.

I will sing the lyric someday! I chose your title because it sounds way more adequate and alternative. Thanks!
