Down
Maybe it's my past
The voice of my ex is still so loud
And he's telling me, "Bitch, you shouldn't let down your walls"
Maybe it's my parents
Who told me that as hard as you try
Oh, sometimes love can't get you by forever
Oh, maybe I'm over complicatin'
I just can't learn to trust
Oh, maybe you'll stay
I just keep waiting for you to take off runnin'
Why am I this way?
I'd stand in front of you naked
But I can't share my feelings with you
Baby, I'm so afraid
If you keep me around 'til day breaks
Will you still feel the way you do?
I've been building up a fortress for so long now
How do I tear it all down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
Maybe it's the movies (ah-ah-ah)
That told me only pure and perfect love (ah-ah-ah) could break the spell
Maybe it's just me (ah-ah-ah)
'Cause I could say there's somebody for everyone (ah-ah-ah)
But I mean everyone else
Oh, maybe I'm over complicatin'
An' I just can't learn to trust
But, you say you'll stay
I just keep waiting for you to take off runnin'
Why am I this way?
I stand in front of you naked
But I can't share my feelings with you
And baby, I'm so afraid if you keep me around 'til day breaks
Will you still feel the way you do?
I've been building up a fortress for so long now
How do I tear it all down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
How do I tear it all down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
Oh, maybe I'm over complicatin'
I just can't learn to trust
Oh, maybe you're stayin'
But I keep waiting for you to take off runnin'
Oh, why am I this way?
I stand in front of you naked
But I can't share my feelings with you
And baby, I'm so afraid
Check ya out so I can feel safe
But I know that's not fair to you
I been building up a fortress for so long now
How do I tear it all down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
How do I tear it all down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
The voice of my ex is still so loud
And he's telling me, "Bitch, you shouldn't let down your walls"
Maybe it's my parents
Who told me that as hard as you try
Oh, sometimes love can't get you by forever
Oh, maybe I'm over complicatin'
I just can't learn to trust
Oh, maybe you'll stay
I just keep waiting for you to take off runnin'
Why am I this way?
I'd stand in front of you naked
But I can't share my feelings with you
Baby, I'm so afraid
If you keep me around 'til day breaks
Will you still feel the way you do?
I've been building up a fortress for so long now
How do I tear it all down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
Maybe it's the movies (ah-ah-ah)
That told me only pure and perfect love (ah-ah-ah) could break the spell
Maybe it's just me (ah-ah-ah)
'Cause I could say there's somebody for everyone (ah-ah-ah)

How do I tear it all down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
How do I tear it all down, down, down, down
Down, down, down?
