Don't tear me down

where is all the love
does it lie in the past
tell me you once cared
tell me once you shared

don't tear me down
leave something for me
bring me back my dawn
leave some future in me

you wanted to dance
you had your chance
you didn't take it
you just wanted to dance

so don't tear me down
leave this sad ol' house
leave me in one piece
leave me the air I breathe

leavin' doesn't mean
you've put out the light
a flame might falter but
never ceases to shine
