Lyrics

Torn

[Verse 1]

I thought I saw a girl brought to life

She was warm, she came around and she was dignified

She showed me what it was to cry

I couldn't be the man that you adored

You don't seem to know, or seem to care what my heart is for

I don't know you anymore

[Pre-Chorus]

There's nothing where you used to lie

The conversation has run dry

That's what's going on

[Chorus]

Nothing's right, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I am shamed

Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed

Into something real

I'm wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn

You're a little late, I'm already torn

[Verse 2]

So I guess the fortune teller's right

I should have seen just what was there

And not some holy light

You crawled beneath my veins

[Pre-Chorus]

And now I don't care, I had no luck

I don't miss it all that much

There's just so many things

[Chorus]

That I can touch, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I am shamed

Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed

Into something real

I'm wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn

You're a little late, I'm already torn

Torn

[Bridge]

There's nothing where he used to lie

My inspiration has run dry

That's what's going on

[Chorus]

Nothing's right, I'm torn

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I am shamed

Lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed

Into something real

I'm wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn

[Outro]

I'm all out of faith

This is how I feel

I'm cold and I'm ashamed

Bound and broken on the floor

Illusion never changed

Into something real

I'm wide awake and I can see

The perfect sky is torn
