[Chorus]
I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh, no
We built it up to pull it down
We built it up, We built it up
We built it up to pull it down
We built it up, wе built it up
We built it up to pull it down
[Verse 2]
Now all the birds have flеd
The hurt just leaves me scared
Losing everything I've ever known
It's all become too much
Maybe I'm not built for love
If I knew that I could reach you, I would go
[Pre-Chorus]
It's in my heart and in my head
You can't take back the things you said
So high above, I feel it coming down
She said, "in my heart and in my head
Tell me why this has to end"
Oh, no, oh, no
[Chorus]
I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh, no
We built it up to pull it down
[Outro]
We build it up and we build it up
We build it up to pull it down
We build it up and we build it up
We build it up to pull it down
We build it up and we build it up
We build it up to pull it down
We build it up and we build it up
We build it up to pull it down
