What's the story
behind the song?

Verse I
It's so hard to keep your head up
When your world is crumbling down
It's so hard to keep looking up
When your eyes are searching the ground
You say you know me
You say you understand
You say it's just a rip in my sleeve
You say to mend you must believe
I say, it's tearing down.

Verse II
Another year is over
A new one staring me in the face
If I had to go back and start all over
I'd go back to bed and sleep in the cool space
Life is never easy
Each day it gets harder to bear
Burdens of your tears and of my sins
Burdens of the world make me cringe
In fact, it's tearing me down.

Bridge
Some days it seems
God stares at me
God glares at me
Dares me to take another step.

Verse III
It's so hard to keep my head up
When my world is crumbling down
It's so hard to keep looking up
When my eyes are searching the ground
We build walls around us
We build so high we can't see past
Build up the tears and hold them back
Human walls at some point crack
I say, let's tear 'em down.
