[Verse 1]
Like a flame to the forest
You came in blarin' and blistered my heart
I can't blame you, did your best
But I should've known you're no good from the start

[Chorus]
You tore my world up (Tore it up)
You tore my world up (Tore it up)
You tore my world up (Tore it up)
But you won't tear me down, down, down

[Verse 2]
I'll admit (Oh), I could've quit long ago, whoa
But it was too lit to let go
I don't like to commit, then say no
But that shit was no good for my soul

[Chorus]
You tore my world up (Tore it up)
Yeah, you, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
Oh, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
But you won't tear me down, down, down

[Verse 3]
I had questions, concerns but I had to make sure
All the twists and the turns were part of your allure
But we crashed and we burned
Guess you live and you learn with this love
[Pre-Chorus]
Ohh, you loved to set her off
But I never thought I'd end up alone
Now the pressure's off
I know I'm better off all on my own

[Chorus]
You tore my world up (Tore it up)
Yeah, you, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
Oh, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
But you won't tear me down, down, down
You tore my world up (Tore it up)
Yeah, you, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
Ooh, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
But you won't tear me down, down, down, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
You tore my world up (Tore it up)
Yeah, you, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
Oh, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
But you won't tear me down, down, down
You tore my world up (Tore it up)
Oh, you, you, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
Oh, you, you tore my world up (Tore it up)
But you won't tear me down (Down, down, down)
