Lyrics

TORN

Words and Music by - Avi Hoffman

Like a paper on the sidewalk
Like an old abandoned shoe
Like the butts that fill an ashtray
Like what I feel because of you
Like the leaves that fall in autumn
Like a baby from a breast
Like a bum that's in the gutter
Like a tearing in my chest
A tearing in my chest

Tearing, Tearing, Torn
Torn to tatters - Torn to shreds
Torn apart and torn together
Torn for better - Torn for worse
Now I want you - Now I don't
Now I love you - Now I won't
Now I'm tearing at my brain
Please, God, help relieve the pain
Of being Torn - I'm being Torn

Like a wind with no direction
Like a sky without a moon
Like a lake with no reflection
Like the end is coming soon
Like a childhood that was bitter
Like a bottle in the sea
Like a car that's going nowhere
Like what's happening to me
What's happening to me ?

Tearing, Tearing, Torn
Torn to tatters - Torn to shreds
Torn apart and torn together
Torn for better - Torn for worse
Now I want you - Now I don't
Now I love you - Now I won't
Now I'm tearing at my brain
Please, God, help relieve the pain
Of being Torn - I'm being Torn
