It's been a while since I've seen you
I'm trying to not offend you
I count the days as they go by
Since I phoned you and said goodbye

You gave me roses just to show me
How much you love and adore me
You know you didn't have to do that
Because with you its this and/or that
I'm thinking of a way 'cuz I know you never listen
Why don't you ever listen?

Tearing down the house, tearing down the house, tearing down the house
Why don't you ever listen?
Tearin'g down the house, tearing down the house, tearing down the house
You don't know what you're missing
And now your roses don't mean a thing
You're tearing down the house

The good times are a reminder
Of how much I really like her (tearing down the house)
I wish that I could see her right now
But we're just tearing down the house now
I'm thinking of a way 'cuz I know you never listen
Why don't you ever listen?

Tearing down the house, tearing down the house, tearing down the house
Why don't you ever listen?
Tearing down the house, tearing down the house, tearing down the house
You don't know what you're missing
And now your roses don't mean a thing
You're tearing down the house

With a bit of common sense
And more consideration
You'd know exactly not what to do
I'm thinking of a way 'cuz I know you never listen
Why don't you ever listen?

Tearing down the house, tearing down the house, tearing down the house
Why don't you ever listen?
Tearing down the house, tearing down the house, tearing down the house
You don't know what you're missing
Tearing down the house, tearing down the house, tearing down the house
Girl you never listen

Tearing down the house, tearing down the house, tearing down the house
And now your roses don't mean a thing
You don't know what you're missing
And now your roses don't mean a thing
