Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why don't they hate you? Why do they hate me?
Why are their blogs set up to debate, but only forsake me?
Huh, how am I doing? And why do you care?
When my failures come with smiles
When I win, I write, you just compare
So why must I try to own your love
When I'm better than what I've been?
But that's not good enough
Why? (Why?)
You can't hear my decency
Instead of me singin' at friends, I'm talkin' over enemies
[Chorus]
The world is so loud, loud, loud
It's so loud, loud, loud
It's like hearin' pins drop in the crowd
They won't stop until they goddamn tear you down
Man, the world is so loud, loud, loud
It's so loud, loud, loud
I try to drown 'em all out in my sound
But they won't stop, stop until they tear you down
Until they tear me down (In time, you will take me as I am)
Until they tear me down (As I am)
[Verse 2]
Wish for my destruction, that's why I'm so reluctant
Want me to pass the ball, but you're not on my team
You wanna cast a stone, we're so ready to fight
Got the nerve to ask how did I sleep
I heard you all through the night
Somebody tell me why, I know it's not just me
Over a billion voices don't think, just speak
You hate me when I'm up (Hey)
You love me when I'm down (Woo)
I'm so confused by the world (Hey)
[Chorus]
Hey, the world is so loud, loud, loud
It's so loud, loud, loud
It's like hearin' pins drop in the crowd
They won't stop until they goddamn tear you down
Man, the world is so loud, loud, loud
It's so loud, loud, loud
I try to drown 'em all out in my sound
But they won't stop, stop until they tear you down
Until they tear me down, hey, ooh, woo (In time, you will take me as I am)
Until they tear me down
Until they tear me down, until they tear me down (As I am)
Until they tear me down, until they tear me down
[Bridge]
Long ago, I swear
I couldn't hear a sound
I couldn't hear a sound
There's a little girl now
With a little old fortune (With a little old fortune)
Hoping this is true (Hoping this)
So take me down (Tear me down)
[Chorus]
Oh, the world is so loud (It's so loud), loud, loud
It's so loud (It's so loud), loud, loud
It's like hearin' pins drop in the crowd
They won't stop until they goddamn tear you down
Man, the world is so loud (It's so loud), loud, loud
It's so loud, loud, loud (Hey)
I try to drown 'em all out in my sound (I try to drown 'em all out)
But they won't stop, stop until they tear you down
(In time, you will take me as I am)
Until they tear you down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (As I am)
Oh, you will take me as I am (In time, you will take me as I am)
As I (As I am)
The world is so loud
