[Verse 1]
I've been playing it out, but we never change
We're just caught in a game
Lost in our ways and who can we blame? If only
We found some other way to turn it around
We're just livin' for now, no telling how we'll find our way out

[Pre-Chorus]
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?

[Chorus]
We build it up to tear it down
Broken pieces on the ground
We're damage done so on we run
Holding onto fading love
Holding onto fading love
Holding onto fading love

[Verse 2]
I've been hangin' my hopes on all that you say
Words won't fill in the holes if we've given up on findin' a way to hold on
The world that we know will tremble and shake
If we don't see it now, it won't be long before it breaks

[Pre-Chorus]
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?

[Chorus]
We build it up to tear it down
Broken pieces on the ground
We're damage done so on we run
Holding onto fading love
Holding onto fading love
Holding onto fading love
[Pre-Chorus]
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?
Why would you, why would you go and throw it away?

[Chorus]
We build it up to tear it down
Broken pieces on the ground
We're damage done so on we run
Holding onto fading love
We build it up to tear it down
Broken pieces on the ground
We're damage done so on we run
Holding onto fading love
Holding onto fading love
Holding onto fading love
