Tearing Me Down

I was a fighter until I got what I was fighting for
I was a loner until I found that I was needing more
And all the time that I was searching for things I can't find
I was just wasting precious life

It's tearing me down
I could stand my ground
But I don't know
I don't know

There was a part of me that liked the way that I'd become
Trapped in itself and all the little things that I had done
I fought a war and all the victories that I thought I won
They count as nothing in the long run

It's tearing me down
I could stand my ground
I've been tearing me down
What have I found?
Yeah, I've found hope

It's tearing me down
But I can stand my ground
He's been building my trust
and filled me with love
Yeah, I've found hope
Yeah, I've found hope
