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?   
 (chorus) 
 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?   
 Chorus   
 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?   
 Chorus
