Lyrics
IT TEARS AT ME
Words & Music by Harriet Schock 323 934-5691
People search the world for this
Some dare call it happiness
Through planets lost and
Kingdoms wasted,
They'll pay the cost, yeah
Once they've tasted this.
When we don't know about it
It's easy to live without it, I guess
But now I've found it
The hunger tears at me.
It tears at me for my attention
It stares at me, like my invention
Ecstasy too sweet to mention
This love.
You came shining like a friend
In some, strange, safe experiment
So effortless and unsuspected
Till my heart opened, unprotected
Now I'm determined, baby
To go where each step will take me with you
'Cause now I've found you, the power tears at me.
It tears at me for my attention
It cares for me through my abstention
Ecstasy too sweet to mention
This love.
--------
People see the me I show
And it's who I am, you know?
But there's a part that has stayed in hiding
Chained and locked and long residing there
You and your x-ray vision
You and your laser precision with words
You broke the code and you brought this love to me.
It tears at me for my attention
Beyond compare or comprehension
Ecstasy too sweet to mention
This love.
