Tear Us Apart Songtext

von Alter Bridge

Blind-sided once again
Fooled by the fool within
You know

You're dead to a sacrifice
Slowly you wake to find
No hope

Withered and burning red
The promises you left for dead
Go cold

But this too will surely fade
This truth you cannot escape

That we have to face
And learn from mistakes to grow

Don't let the world
Tear us apart
Don't live a lie
Don't break a heart
Don't compromise
Just wait

Drink from a poisoned well
Only to kill yourself
Alone

Wake up and take a stand
While there is still a chance
Let go

Hatred cannot replace
The love you are meant to save
And hold

Silence the great divide
This truth you cannot deny

We have to face
And learn from mistakes to grow

Don't let the world
Tear us apart
Don't live a lie
Don't break a heart
Don't compromise
Just wait

If there is something
Worth saving
Let it show

If there is something
Worth changing
Let it go

Time is wasting
Now you know

Don't let the world
Tear us apart
Don't live a lie
Don't break a heart

Don't compromise
Just wait
Don't compromise
Just wait

Don't let the world
Tear us apart
Tear us apart
Tear us apart
