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!
