Torn Down
Brandy · Human [2008]
Laid it brick by brick by brick
Reached my limit, this thing gave me more power
I cannot win, oh win, oh
Don't tell me I can't build on anything
Just 'cause they couldn't do it
I took a whole lifetime trying to find a way up
And feeling useless
'Cause I'm gonna love you, right now
And it's so strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
So strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
So strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
They don't know our love is still standing
They won't get enough, they won't, they won't
Shake the foundation just to try and do damage
They can try with all they want, whoa
Don't tell me I can't build on anything
Just 'cause they couldn't do it
I took a whole lifetime trying to find a way up
And feeling useless
'Cause I'm gonna love you, right now
And it's so strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
So strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
So strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
We're higher, baby
The love skyscraping
I might be crazy
But I think when we're gone
Our love's gonna still stay strong
'Cause of the way we made it
'Cause of the way we made it
'Cause of the way we made it
'Cause of the way we made it
Whoa, we made love
Don't tell me I can't build on anything
Just 'cause they couldn't do it
I took a whole lifetime trying to find a way up
And feeling useless
'Cause I'm gonna love you, right now
And it's so strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
So strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
So strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
I'm gonna love you right now
And it's so strong, don't know how
Can't be torn down
