Tearin' Up My Heart
★N Sync Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
(Hey, yeah)
Baby I don't understand
Just why we can't be lovers
Trying too much, but baby we can't win
Let it go
If you want me girl, let me know
I am down, on my knees
I can't take it anymore
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
(Ooh, alright)
Baby don't misunderstand (don't misunderstand)
What I'm trying to tell ya
In the corner of my mind (corner of my mind)
Baby, it feels like we're running out of time
Let it go
If you want me girl, let me know
I am down, on my knees
I can't take it anymore
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
Tearin' up my heart and soul
We're apart I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
Tearin' up my heart and soul (alright)
We're apart I feel it too (I feel it too)
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
The lyrics of ★N Sync’s song “Tearin’ Up My Heart” express the pain and confusion of being in a difficult relationship. The opening lines provide a concise statement of the situation: “it’s tearin’ up my heart when I’m with you, but when we are apart, I feel it too.” The singer is communicating that no matter what, the pain and heartache of the relationship is still felt. The second verse suggests that the lovers are struggling to communicate, as they are trying “too much” but still seem unable to “win.” Throughout the song, the singer pleads with the other person, asking them to “let it go” and to “let me know” if they want the relationship to continue.
The chorus of “Tearin’ Up My Heart” perfectly captures the tortured feeling of being in love with someone who causes an immense amount of pain. The repetition of the phrase “tearin’ up my heart” emphasizes the emotional toll the situation is taking on the singer. The bridge of the song contains some of the most heart-wrenching lyrics, as the singer admits that “no matter what I do, I feel the pain with or without you.” This line perfectly depicts the struggle of wanting to leave a toxic relationship but also suffering from the pain of being without the person. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, once again highlighting the emotional turmoil of the situation.
