The cycle repeated As explosions broke in the sky All that I needed Was the one thing I couldn't find
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
The colors conflicted As the flames climbed into the clouds. I wanted to fix this But couldn't stop from tearing it down.
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
You told me, "Yes" You held me high And I believed when you told that lie I played soldier, you played king And 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
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
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
