Lyrics

Building Up / Cutting Down

I've got all you wondering how Seeing as I'm not around Well, I got sick of all this Building me up just to cut me down If you've noticed I've been keen Saw some things I should have seen Don't want to be up, down, or anything anywhere in between I don't want to feel this way again Listen up, you go your way And I'll go mine I've got all you wondering how Seeing as I'm not around Well, I got sick of all this Building me up just to cut me down Don't try, I'm not coming back again Listen up, you had your chance Now I feel fine now Wondering how Seeing as I'm not around Well, I got sick of all this Building me up just to cut me down
